resend because the original mail is being held back for approval, because the attachment was too big.

Subject: First contact as StC Microsoft focal point

Dear StC colleagues,

today, I had my first contact with Sam Guckenheimer in my new role as StC focal point for Microsoft.
I used the attached presentation to walk him through the governance updates and the future plans, regarding SDO’s and such. In addition, I also added some suggestions for possible engagements (depending on StC approval).

I think, we made a good step forward, although he still has some concerns. We talked for more than one hour. Technically and from a user point of view he (meanwhile) totally agrees to the OSLC concepts. His concerns were more on the business side. What does it mean for our “competitive” situation with other vendors. “Will we start a war with others”?
As a next step he promised to check with other MS stakeholders regarding a meeting in Redmond during the ALM Summit<http://www.alm-summit.com/> in January (29th-31st). One possible setup could be having a StC F2F with MS as guests and a Birds-of-Feather session with StC members in a panel.
Details still need to be worked out and we should discuss this in our next StC meeting.

One of the first question Sam ask me was “what does the announcement mean that IBM has now Tasktop Sync as OEM product”[1]. Does this mean, IBM has given up the idea of OSLC and Taskop Sync is the new interoperability strategy? I guess you would like this Mik – don’t you. John, there is some work for you. I did refer to you (two) for more details.

So far my first report – more during the next StC meeting.

Bye and have a nice day
Rainer
