McCool: wot-architecture and wot-thing-description have been just published as RECs
... as long as the press release

Agenda

Sebastian: wanted to check the status :)

McCool: would like to talk out developer outreach
... the RECs and press release look good
... just wondering about minor points like possible translation of figures within the spec

<McCool> mm: I will do twitter right after this

Sebastian: let's talk about the explainer video

Explainer video

Sebastian: (shows a video production site)

McCool: should see the cost vs quality
... normalization based on time, etc.

Sebastian: maximum cost here vs people's rating

Kaz: all the entries here mean different video producers. right?

Sebastian: yes

McCool: what about the language?
... assuming English

Sebastian: native English speaker would be better
... let's look at the rating here

McCool: maybe value for dollars

<sebastian> https://www.fiverr.com/maryisabella/create-a-professional-whiteboard-animation-explainer-video

Kaz: looking into this site is fine
... but we might want to ask Coralie about W3C's preferred video producers
... since we'll hold the upcoming the AC meeting as a virtual meeting, and will generate many videos for presentations

McCool: yeah, talking with Coralie would make sense

Sebastian: write an email to her?

McCool: yes
... you can explain what we want in the message

Sebastian: ok

McCool: btw, we have an explainer document already
... and it should be aligned with the newly proposed explainer video
... we need slightly expanded one

Sebastian: yeah, but we should be careful not to put too much contents

McCool: right
... but want to have the text in line with the video

Kaz: agree with McCool at least from the viewpoint of document maintenance

McCool: can draft some document
... maybe we should check the old explainer content is still relevant
... the document now should be moved under wot-marketing

Sebastian: will you do that yourself?

McCool: yeah
... will create a pullrequest for that purpose

Developer outreach

McCool: how to request deeper tutorial?
... need description not only for node-wot but also the other implementations
... we really can't necessarily have implementation support inside W3C
... the WoT CG could work on that
... and could have a dedicated calls
... people can join the CG
... can get some materials there
... wondering if recording the tutorial would really make sense
... having both of the recorded tutorial and the live tutorial session would be useful
... would see tutorial for node-gen as well
... people might want to have specific topics
... need somebody as the leader to do the tutorials
... always be there and organize the meetings
... maybe would ask Ege about that
... and should ask people to give tutorials
... essentially re-energizing the WoT CG

Sebastian: really elaborate the man power

McCool: right
... really serious problem
... Ege doesn't have to give tutorials himself
... we should decide to do it
... and then think about who to organize it
... should have a Chair

Kaz: think we should check with PLH and Wendy as well

McCool: why don't we talk about them about the developer outreach issue itself?
... can we use W3C resources like WebEx as well?
... developer outreach itself is very important for WoT
... we need to negotiate them about this topics to clarify the relevant process

<scribe> ACTION: kaz to talk with plh/wendy about expected developer outreach including the possibility of reusing the WoT CG

McCool: ok
... assuming it's OK, what should be done?
... should make decision on date/time for the possible calls
... someways evening is good but someways not
... personally pretty open with Thursday and Tuesday
... Team Contacts don't have to be there, I think
... maybe we can use the CG mechanism not only for developer outreach but also getting requirements from them
... ok
... that's all from me

Previous minutes

Apr-2 minutes

McCool: (shares his screen)
... (goes through the minutes)
... wondering about some more additional testimonials for the press release
... we should continue to talk with Fraunhofer about Link Smart
... any objections to accept the minutes?

(none)

McCool: accepted

Next week

McCool: next week, do we want to look at the marketing site?
... should invite Coralie again?
... anything to work on before hand?

Sebastian: can invite her if you want

McCool: we'll have two separate topics, explainer video and web page
... also might be possible to talk about the developer outreach

Kaz: please note that starting with next week (Apr. 16), the wot marketing call will start one hour later

McCool: Kaz will allocate a new WebEx
... and I'll distribute an updated calendar invite
