[Oslc-steeringcommittee] Proposal approaching vendors about OSLC

[Ersch, Rainer]

Dear StC Colleagues,
John and I had the chance to talk about how to approach big organizations during our meeting in Madrid this week.
Since we both think that this is a very important topic, we came up with the following proposal, we would like to share with you:


-           As already discussed in previous StC meetings, we propose to install a StC focal point for two vendors to begin with

-           The two vendors should be Microsoft (TFS team) and Siemens PL.

-           The StC members being the focal point for these organizations should first approach them informally,
but with the clear mandate of the StC to figure out what a next engagement step could be
(e.g. a more formal meeting with a StC delegation).

-           Our proposal is also that John should be the focal point for Siemens PL and I would take this role for Microsoft.

-           Based on these experiences, we should later decide how useful this approach is and how to continue


If you agree to this proposal, please reply (to all) with a "+1" vote to this message. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me and/or John.
Looking forward to hearing back from you soon.

Bye and have a nice day
Rainer

@Sean: could you please send out a formal note when we have reached voting result and document the decision on our private StC wiki page.
