<koalie> staging: WoT REC press release
Kaz: Coralie here
Coralie: head of the W3C MarComm Team
... media coordinate, etc.
... this time, draft for the press release (above)
... started with your generated talking points on the GH
... then flesh out the content
... Jeff says that we should have big impact for the press
release
... actual story to follow the standardization
... what kind of product do you have, etc.
... using WoT standards for success
... speaks directly to the business people
... you've been working on testimonials
... we can talk about your talking points in both the main body
and the testimonials
... thanks for providing your testimonial, Siemens
... that's my introduction
... hope the press release in success!
Sebastian: tx!
... we still need some text for the main body part.
right?
... CSS WR's press release didn't have concrete product
introduction, etc.
Coralie: that one is not a perfect
example for WoT
... WoT has bigger potential for industry impact
Sebastian: any concrete example to be referred for us?
Coralie: can provide some
Lagally: would be easier for us to have some initial version press release
<koalie> https://www.w3.org/comm/assets/staging/press-releases/pressrelease-wot-rec.html.en
Kaz: how about looking at
Coralie's template above?
... and our talking point
... also we can look at the workshop introduction text
Coralie: the template is mostly
placeholder at the moment
... but we can look into what kind of product would be
available
Lagally: is the diagram just a placeholder?
Coralie: it's also a placeholder taken
from the spec
... if you have preferred one, please let me know
Lagally: we have many diagrams within
the architecture spec
... focus on different domains to be supported
Kaz: please remember that (as I repeatedly mentioned) the Munich workshop page above already has some description about the problem statements, our expectation for WoT as a possible resolution and expected areas and use cases for various industries
<koalie> +1 to use-cases
<koalie> +1 to expected impact of WoT
Daniel: btw, regarding "actual implementations and products", there is no actual product yet probably
... or do we already have anything?
Sebastian: we have a product
already
... need to confirm the product name, though
Coralie: if we could mention the actual product name, would be great
Sebastian: let me check within Siemens
<koalie> great!
<koalie> scribenick: koalie
Kaz: I personally think it would be nice to mention all the available devices, applications which were included in our PlugFests
... e.g. Oracle digital twin, Hybridcast application on a TV, Amazon echo, Google home, Air conditioners from Panasonic/Fujitsu
Lagally: I'm skeptical because those are used for PlugFests but not actual products yet
Kaz: The story for our Press Release could mention both (1) the PoC so far, (2) expected products now and (3) our expectation for the future
... that kind of 3-step story should be possible
<koalie> scribenick: kaz
Sebastian: what is the roadmap for the
press release?
... can we wait until the preparation is ready?
Coralie: 2 points here
... 1. depends which comes first
... we publish the REC first and then can issue the press
release at the same time
... 2. testimonials are only part of the press release
... they're attached to the press release
... the main body is stronger
... the story should be included in the main body
Lagally: why don't we take the text from the workshop intro as the starting point?
<koalie> will do
Lagally: maybe need some tweaks later, though
Coralie: will do that
Lagally: and we can continue to improve it
Sebastian: 2 comments
... where to start?
... starting with the mission?
Kaz: right
... and we can look into the new Charter as well
Sebastian: regarding the date
... would be nice to publish the RECs and the press release on
the same day
... good opportunity to get strong impact by that
... along with testimonials from many Members
... would put the draft template on GH
... and update it with pullrequests
Coralie: sounds good
Sebastian: ok with the next steps?
... will also ask the products within Siemens
... all, please continue to work on your testimonials
... Oracle, Fujitsu, IRI, etc.
Kaz: Hitachi as well
Sebastian: right
... please provide them to us (including Coralie) so that we
can improve the press release body

All: None -> approved
Kaz: w.r.t. Twitter account
... contacted Chris Lilley, and he is checking within the CSS WG
... talked also with Ivan Herman about JSON-LD wikipedia article
... got suggestion we talk also with Manu Sporny, the spec Editor
Kaz: Christian has some resources
Christian: Yes, will share
Christian has some problem to share his slides via WebEx, so he sends the slides to Kaz so that Kaz can share them for Christian.
Meanwhile we'll discuss the other topics first.
Kaz: PR#22, content of getting started
<kaz2> PR 22
Kaz: Sebastian started, Michael improved
Lagally: Sebastian asked me to add
content about architecture
... I added comments with my proposal
... hope Sebastian does the revision
Kaz: I am OK with the changes
Lagally: Let's ask Sebastian for an update
Kaz: Will check with Sebastian
<kaz> ACTION: kaz to ask Sebastian about Lagally's update for PR 22
Kaz has gotten Christian's slides and starts to share them for Christian.
Christian: Sebastian presented
perspective of end-user and use-case of home automation
... I tell the story from a different perspective
... start from end-user point of view
... it is a winegrower
... heard about new possibilities about wine production
... control quality of plants (humidity&temp sensors),
sprinkler, weather forecasts
... buys devices and tries to put them in operation
... and to interconnect the devices
... it gets tricky and is a bit lost
... talked to his IT consultant
... asks him to realize the IOT solution
... the developer likes challenge and has some knowledge
... Web expert with background in NodeJS
... looking around he finds information about Web of
Things
... finds W3C initiative
... finds tutorials, tools aroud WoT
... manages to create fullstack IoT solution
... along with the effort he created WoT building blocks
... in the end he was able to creatng the IoT solution in a few
weeks
... ready for next challenge, hotel owner extending home
automation
Kaz: slides are great
... I think the content is perfect fit for the press release as well :)
Christian: Copyrrights need to be clarified
Kaz: OK to share them to the WoT group list?
Christian: Will check internally
Kaz: Thanks
Kaz: scribenick: kaz
Kaz: any other comments/questions?
(none)
Kaz: in that case, let's adjourn the call today
... and continue the discussion on the slides themselves, the press release, etc.
Lagally: just a note, there will be an Architecture call in 1 hour
