<kaz> scribenick: McCool
Sebastian: agenda: same as last week
<ege> https://github.com/w3c/wot-marketing/issues/17 is the twitter issue
mccool: add f2f schedule for marketing
<kaz> latest draft
McCool: meeting with W3M
<inserted> scribenick: kaz
McCool: suggestion was deleting the
deliverables section
... but need examples of applications
... concrete example for business impacts
... another point is possible testimonial from Singapore
... Alan can review the updated one
... we should have the marketing call at the regular time on
Thursday
... for press release discussion
... maybe a few of us to update the draft
... we need examples
... of products which people build systems on
... would be great to get initial write-up
Sebastian: tx for your feedback
... sounds good
... would take some more time, though
<inserted> scribenick: McCool
Sebastian: not unhappy with putting off
the pr
... with the coronavirus people are distracted anyway
... would also be very cool to get more examples and
testimonials
... we should also ask SmartThings
... so imo we should take the time to improve the press
release
<kaz> fyi, statically version
Sebastian: and looking forward to the
feedback from Alan Bird
... and Siemens can provide some details on our product
McCool: very important at this point that we get more examples of practical applications and products
Sebastian: also, looking at the pr, there is still a bug with the image not rendering right in firefox
McCool: we know about the bug, we should fix it
Kaz: let's deal with it separately
Lagally: not sure about delaying
the press release
... do think it makes sense to another round of editing
... but we should not wait until the coronavirus problem is
over
... in the IT world people are still working
McCool: W3M is to take at most 2wks to complete the revisions
Lagally: ok, understood; not concerned about 2wks
Kaz: ok with decision to delay
pressrelease and emphasis on business impact since I've been also suggesting we should emphasize the business impact part
... but we should be careful about how to update the impact section
... for example, we should mention some possible use cases to describe "what would be useful" to use WoT for IoT
McCool: should include specific use cases
Kaz: right. I think we should include both the current status and the near-future expected situation
Lagally: in the arch spec we do have a
number of target domains
... where the spec would be useful
McCool: some statistical information would be useful, even a "yes/no" about whether a company is working on a product, with no details
Sebastian: so summary is, Alan is
working on some input by next Tuesday, will join us next
Thurs
... in the meantime, we need to collect more statements and
elaborate upon examples
... and we can also get some more testimonials
Sebastian: eg from Singapore (Smart
City) and Smart Things (Smart Home)
... also Samsung is also involved in an EU project; may be some
WoT committment there, need to ask
... will ask Michael Koster
<kaz> Mar-5 minutes
Sebastian: reviewed last week's
minutes; mostly press release
... any objections to making these public?
... hearing none, we will make these public now
<ege> can we postpone the twitter for 5-10 minutes? I am on a call sadly
Sebastian: ok, let's postpone this
<kaz> virtual f2f agenda
Sebastian: will have
marketing call at the usual time next week, but will use the
F2F webex
... will have to make sure we let Alan know and put a note in
the Marketing wiki
<kaz> ACTION: kaz to allocate a dedicated 4-day webex for the virtual f2f
Sebastian: shared with you my
slides
... did a small verbal survey
... show of hands
... also did a livesurvey after talk
... no vote that said they were NOT interested
... all responders wanted more information
... and three votes that said they were interested in joining
the WG
... including Bosch, which are planning to join the group
... they are especially interested in discovery
McCool: (note to self: make sure Kevin from Bosch also knows about the webex change...()
Lagally: great news that Bosch is
joining
... would like to know more about the conference
... industry, audience, etc.
<kaz> Sebastian's slides (Member-only)
Sebastian: just German IoT community;
small, about 150 participants
... both small and large companies, but a good mix
... HiveMq, tarent (also possibly interested in joining),
etc.
<sebastian> https://www.buildingiot.de/programm.php?source=
Sebastian: organized by Heise online; well-known IoT news source in Germany
Lagally: it was technical people?
Sebastian: less business, more
technical
... so more of a developer conference
McCool: any possibility of a blog?
Sebastian: unfortunately won't have the
time...
... can use twitter though
Kaz: current page does have a
section for a news update
... would be nice if you could add one sentence there
<kaz> wg page
Sebastian: would rather focus on twitter...
McCool: and get a twitter feed to show up on those pages...
Sebastian: exactly
Sebastian: there is a GitHub repo on the
"Link Smart" project which seems to use WoT
... we should reach out to them
McCool: since they are German, perhaps sebastian should reach out?
Sebastian: yes, I intend to
Kaz: reasonable to invite them to the virtual F2F next week and the WG call
Sebastian: I think they are already a W3C member
Kaz: but not in the WG
Sebastian: they are also developing a thing directory; so maybe should also be contributing to discovery
Taki: also working with them on
IETF TF
... had also search about this; I will also look into it
... my contact is with another person at Fraunhofer to try and
get information and contacts

see issue #17
https://github.com/w3c/wot-marketing/issues/17
Ege: many groups have twitter
accounts
... can distribute small updates and notes, such as changes to
specs, etc.
... can then embed feed into other places, like the web
page
... marcom wants it to start with W3C_
McCool: does capitalization matter for twitter handles?
Dape: no, I don't think so
McCool: good
Ege: so suggest we use W3C_WoT
McCool: let's go with W3C_WoT and then test if it works
<Zakim> dape, you wanted to "who" creates the twitter account, we ?
Dape: who will create it?
Kaz: let's continue discussion with Coralie on this thread
McCool: so, who is allowed to post?
Hopefully not just marketing
... I think at least chairs and editors
proposal: to ask that a twitter account with the name W3C_WoT be created, with at minimum WoT WG chairs and editors given the rights to post
RESOLUTION: to ask that a twitter account with the name W3C_WoT be created, with at minimum WoT WG chairs and editors given the rights to post
Ege: I just checked, indeed twitter handles are case-insensitive
Sebastian: next week we will continue discussion of press release, and if time we will look at web content
McCool: since it will be the F2F, I think we should also put aside time for planning and to discuss next steps
Kaz: you mean we could use the possible remaining time during the Marketing call at 9am EDT on Thursday. right?
McCool: yes
Kaz: please note there will be two team-internal calls on 19th
... so may have to move the marketing meeting earlier to avoid the conflict
McCool: how about we do marketing first, then node-wot
Kaz: will check with Alan and Philippe about doing that
