B. OASIS OSLC StC Elections (5 mins)
Discussion:
· Elections in progress – first 2 weeks in September for nomination, and subsequent 2 weeks for voting.
· 3 seats up for election: Bill, Jim, and Mats all seeking re-election.
2 / TCs
(15 mins) / A. OSLC Domains TC Charter Update (5 mins) – Jim
Discussion:
· Approved to proceed with OSLC Domain TC to support migration and development of OSLC Domain specifications, and closing the Automation TC once the Domain TC is up and running.
· Core TC to take on Track Resource Sets and Linked Index Data providers. Vocabularies, shapes being established and in place, ready for review. So migration of existing specifications is proving to be fairly straightforward. Will start streaming to the TC for review.
1. Status update.
Minutes:
· TC is established; first meeting is being scheduled.
· Martin Pain (Automation TC) agreed to close the Automation TC as relevant assets from that TC are being incorporated into the Domain TC. Need to put a pointer from Automation TC to the Domain TC.
· Martin: should Automation be absorbed into Domain or does it fit better in Core?
o Jim: depends on where we think it’ll go. We can always move it to Core later if we see it more logically belongs there down the road
Actions:
· [Rainer] Send email to Chet to ensure all Automation TC collateral is retained/archived and that a forward link is in-place.
B. OSLC Core V3.0 Update (5 mins) – Jim -> Martin
Discussion:
· Core TC has approved a Committee Specification Draft and is available for public review until 9/28.
1. Status updates and next steps.
Minutes:
· No feedback received yet. Even if it closes without substantive comments, minor comments can be incorporated without another review.
· Jim: acceptable to use v2.0 statements of use for v3.0? New 3.0 features do not have implementations yet.
o OASIS might push back since their objective is to make these standards usable so there should minimally be a reference implementation.
· Next steps: proceed with the current plan, and the SC will vote once the TC vote is complete.
C. Migrating Tracked Resource Sets v2.0 from open-services to OSLC Core (5 mins) – Jim
Discussion:
· Planned as part of the next version of OSLC Core.
1. Status update.
Minutes:
· In progress. Draft document is complete and a set of issues identified. No serious issues identified so far.
3 / OSLC Initiatives
(0 mins) / A. How can we help drive greater adoption of OSLC

(40 mins) / A. OSLC Communications WG + Financials (20 mins) – Mark, Jane, Jim, Kalena
Discussion:
· OSLC Communications Scorecard: http://open-services.net/wiki/communications/MonthlyCommunicationScorecard/
· Need to look at past data and determine how frequently to gather it going-forward, and how best to leverage it.
· Need to focus on a way to measure the impacts and effectiveness of certain things that we release, do or convey to the public. This is complementary to scorecard metrics, which are helpful to establish trends over time.
· For scorecard to work, need to draw people to the various sites we are monitoring as well as the targeted initiatives/campaigns we intend on doing.
· Discussion in August in Communications WG.

B. OSLC Integration Scenarios and Business Value (20 mins) -- Wesley
Minutes from last meeting:
· How can we drive adoption? The scenarios will play a key role here. (Reference Vision Executive Summary - http://open-services.net/wiki/steering-committee/Vision/). What integration scenarios can we posit along with OSLC solutions?
· [Jim] Multiple steps here. First, get all of our existing standards under OASIS to remove access barriers (in work). Secondly, present scenarios in conjunction with community participation. Finally, leverage Eclipse Lyo and other alternatives for helping users to get started immediately.
· [Martin] Need extra collateral to help people getting started (videos, etc.). How much work is required to just get started? It may depend on your starting point (e.g. do my applications already use delegated UIs, e.g.) We need to demonstrate quick success and turnaround. Reference implementation will make it hopefully easier to leverage the V3 implementation. Compiled code with V2 is doable, but hard to know all fields a priori without having to redeploy.
· We should be able to give people a quick 5-10 minute way to setup a compliant application. That would be great. Node.js application will be helpful.
· [Rainer] Consider the audience. We have vendors building commercial products as well as users building local adaptations. So we might need multiple examples for different purposes. We should discuss this topic in more detail when more StC members are available to participate.
· [Wesley] Let’s interview people. See who had adopted or is using OSLC and investigate in more detail where the blockers are, what is impeding adoption?
· [Jim] IBM has done some amount of looking into that internally.
o What are you using OSLC for?
o How is it helping you deliver Client value that you couldn’t do without it?
o What are the challenges and pain points you are experiencing?
o What do you need to address these challenges and improve client value?
o How can we help?
These are simple questions intended to stimulate open conversations. They are intended to guide the discussion scope without overly biasing the interviewee. Hopefully this will encourage discussions that might have been less predictable and help us gain better insight.
Minutes:
· Briefly discussed this
· Should have a template to facilitate the discussion
