  • Proposed Addition to the Mission Statement

    • From last meeting” : State that OSLC endeavors to have a minimal-coupling methodology where it maximizes opportunity for integration. Jim thought this really wasn’t a vision thing since we ought not to limit what others can do. This type of message can be announced and discussed in forums, etc. Also noted was that there’s a open-services.net discussion on this very subject.
    • From last meeting” : ACTION - Kalena will check with Nelson and Jim as to what was suppose to be discussed at the Comm WG
    • We aren’t sure what we need to discuss here!
    • Vision statement will appear prominently on new site, so will continue to be an evolving topic
  • Namespaces

    • We will explore publishing them on OASIS, where the specifications will be
    • We will still need the open-services.net redirect
    • Consensus is that it is a good idea
    • We will have to re-think how the reference pages are published
    • HTML versions are in the spec themselves, so no need to duplicate that
    • ACTION: Refer this to the technical committee
