[Oslc-steeringcommittee] OSLC Connect 2013

Thu May 9 11:34:49 EDT 2013

Dear all,

This morning I had a conversation with Bola about the OSLC Connect idea.

One topic we discussed, was the question raised by John yesterday: who
is the target audience - what do we want to achieve with that thing.

In general I see two major groups which we need to address with OSLC
(regardless of the OSLC connect event)

1) Technology / Solution Provider who want to do OSLC based
implementations to provide interoperability or to make their own tools
interoperable

2) End User Companies (like EADS) who are looking for standards to make
their Systems/Software Engineering platforms & process better
integrated. These Companies want to select and influence promising
standards and want to push their (tool) suppliers  to adapt the right
standards.

When I talk to my executives about OSLC, I immediately get the
questions: "how many tools already have an OSLC interface?" and "what do
our partners / competitors do?" 

If we get presentations about OSLC best practices in large companies,
OSLC based roadmaps regarding the "integration challenge", this will
bring added value the potential OSLC Large End User Community is
interested in and getting nowhere else. These people also love some
analysts talking about OLSC and the future...

Regarding Technology / Solution Provider, I believe it's more about "get
started" with OSLC, Training and technical FAQ. Of course also the
business value perspective - see attached slide presented at IBM Pulse
from an IBM Business Partner.

If we're able to address these topics, OSLC Connect can bring added
value, the community can get nowhere else!

However, Bola and I discussed lengthy about the community and their
potential commitment to travel to a conference. It could be that it
might be too early for a full standalone/isolated conference. We just
recognised that thanks to our OASIS migration we got lots of new
attendees, but let's not overstretch this.

Bola and I thought about attaching the OSLC Connect conference to
another, e.g. the IBM Innovate in UK (usually in October/November). I'm
not saying that we shall do a co-hosting, but doing our event just the
day before/after the IBM event (or whatever other event we may want
select). 

This gives us an additional marketing channel to advertise our Con and a
wider audience for which it is more attractive to combine two events. On
top of this we can push our own community as well. 

Personally I think the OSLC Connect idea is a great idea, as we have to
increase our visibility and give our community a real forum! 

So please feel free to comment & give your feedback on our thoughts /
the OSLC Connect topic.

Best regards,

Andreas
