3. User Group Updates
[discussion | review]
- “Embedded Systems” User Group [Rainer]
- had a meeting with KTH and Atego folks to prepare a proposal for a User Group in the area; another meeting planned for Weds.
- a little be hesitant to submit a proposal without perfecting it
- pushing to get them to go ahead with a draft after this Weds.
- how to handle the proposal? email voting? formal review with the StC?
- John: first thought is that we should have a vote, but lets not be difficult
- we should have a formal vote
- suggest that we send around the draft by email, and ask others for input
- Rainer also to provide a recomendation with that email to help StC members who don’t have all the background
- goal to get the vote complete in 24-48 hours
- “Developing Mobile Applications” User Group [Steve]
- discussion started between an IBM BP in the mobile space and Leigh Williamson
- the draft work is still to begin
- Chrales Rankin (who participates in the Auto WG) was going to help with the draft
- a proposal could turn up in about 2 weeks
- also work in a similar way as proposed for the first UG

2. OASIS Member Section Execution
2a Ideas on Associated PR
Sean Kennedy, Dave Ings
[discussion | review]
- Dave Ings:
- OASIS press release
- typically 4-6 weeks after Board approval
- each founding org gets the chance to include a statement
- often feeds into Analyst engagements (Bola had previously volunteered to work on crafting this)
- we have a meeting with the OASIS press lead tomorrow to get more info
- will check into whehter companies that join between the 1st and the release can participate in the in between
- we have a chance to create a drumbeat around all the TCs we’ll be creating over the next few months
- Sean: we have to connect with the Comms WG too, they have been busy working on the OSLC Conference, but we might be able to get a subgroup involved in this as well
- AR pre-briefings (ahead of Innovate)?
- will be working with Bola
- Sunday Open “Summit” for Innovate
- working with IBM Rational Marketing
- similar to the Open Cloud Summit at Pulse
- it was considered to be a “hit”
- plan to do a series of 8-10 minutes lightning talks on OSLC and other Open standards/initiatives
- 3, 3:30, or 4 until 6 PM on June 2
- Sean: there is an opportunity to help shape this, and I would like your help
- Rainer: should we include INCOSE too
- also, sponsorships will be available, if you are interested, let us know
2b Plan for Transitioning OSLC WGs into OASIS TCs
Steve Speicher
[discussion | review]
- Steve: reviews the requirements for creating OASIS TCs and summarizes the proposed groupings
- See: File:Proposed_Transition_Phases_and_Groupings.ppt
- while only 2 orgs are required to create a TC (5 participants), that bar may be one the StC will want to rise
- Rainer: no non-OASIS members can participate in the TCs, yes
- Steve: correct, and they have to agree to signing off on the IPR policies of the group
- Rainer: ok, and given that non-OASIS members cannot participate, to get experts to particpate, the User Groups will be very important to help
- Andreas: it is critical that we have good working releationships between the UGs and TCs
- Rainer: even if the TCs are a combination of OSLC WGs, there would be subgroups that work on the particular spec/standards
- Steve: yes, the TCs would figure out the right way to manage the overall work
- this is similar to how OSLC WGs function today … they spin off subgroups to focus on particular things
- John: lets get a process for getting feedback; this isn’t going to be happening right away
- Steve: yes, the Core TC will happen first, and the others will follow as needed
- John: will people reach out to Steve, and we can revisit at our next meeting
