Welcome Clerley Silveira from Conexxus

McCool: want to welcome Clerley and see if there are questions about the patent policy.

Approval of minutes

<McCool> https://www.w3.org/2020/04/15-wot-minutes.html

<McCool> anotehr

<kaz> [just fixed]

McCool: the minutes have some topics that were covered in the discovery call.

RESOLUTION: minutes approved.

Quick updates

McCool: Had a Govtech call yesterday, new use cases are on the table.
... captured some one liners.
... also discussed Python integration. Not sure how that will work with node-wot
... we should talk about the June plugfest for retail (with Conexxus)
... LinkSmart directory service for thing descriptions could be a good topic.
... there is working code, so we should look at it.

Kaz: might make more sense to have all use case discussions at one place.
... maybe could reuse the current architecture call?
... probably call it the use case slot

McCool: need a doodle poll for a time for that.

Lagally: we are getting in more ideas, ready to move use case discussions into architecture calls as we can.
... we should move these requirements through a "gate" so groups can begin to address.
... there will be overlap in use case development and actual development.
... I'll take responsibility for a doodle poll.

<McCool> proposal: create a new meeting dedicated to collecting use cases

McCool: maybe we need one architecture call and one use case call.

RESOLUTION: create a new meeting dedicated to collecting use cases

<kaz> ACTION: kaz to create a doodle for the new uc call

Invited expert applications

McCool: there is an official process.
... Kevin Olotu, Ben Francis, Hazel Kuok are interested in joining as IEs
... any comments?
... any objections?

(none)

<McCool> proposal: make Kevin Olotu, Ben Francis, and Hazel Kuok all Invited Experts to the WoT WG

Lagally: question - means same position WRT IPR, right?

Kaz: they have to make the same pledge.
... it's part of the process of joining the WG.

RESOLUTION: accept Kevin Olotu, Ben Francis, and Hazel Kuok all as Invited Experts to the WoT WG

Logo Renewal

McCool: marketing team has OK'd the logo, but would like the color to be W3C blue.
... we should all make an effort to use it.

<kaz> New WoT logos

Lagally: why do we need two?

McCool: they work in different areas.

Koster: I think the bottom one is cleaner and nicer.
... is there a reason to have the top (square) logo.

Lagally: I also support one logo.

<McCool> proposal: officially adopt the horizontal version of the logo with the revised color (W3C blue) as the WoT logo. The square version is to be deprecated.

Lagally: what is the logo usage policy?

McCool: we should probably write something up. Presentations, web page, twitter page, etc.

Lagally: any licensing?

McCool: i.e. can people claiming conformance use it?

Lagally: yes.

McCool: suggest we put a note on the logo page indicating it's copyrighted and people must contact us.

<McCool> proposal: officially adopt the horizontal version of the logo with the revised color (W3C blue) as the WoT logo. The square version is to be deprecated. A copyright notice should be added to the wiki page that states that for usages other than official W3C WoT WG communications, the permission of the WoT WG is needed

McCool: Kevin Hughes created the logo - did he grant W3C rights to the image.

Koster: Dave Ragget said he donated it to us.

McCool: let's reach out to Dave and Kevin for an assignment of license.
... so we'll add a copyright to the page.

<McCool> proposal: officially adopt the horizontal version of the logo with the revised color (W3C blue) as the WoT logo. The square version is to be deprecated. A copyright notice should be added to the wiki page that states that for usages other than official W3C WoT WG communications, the permission of the WoT WG is needed

Press Release Update

McCool: Fujitsu had a product they wanted added to the press release.
... note that we added Fujitsu after the "and others" part.

Sebastian: we discussed to make it the last entry.

Kaz: unfortunately all translations are complete.

<McCool> McCool: group would like to move text for Fujitsu above the "Further" line and after the "Mozilla" point, and each point should end in a ; except the last, "Further" point, which should end in a period

June F2F Planning

McCool: there will be a short plug-fest meeting after this call.
... need to add LinkSmart and some others to products.
... note there is an outstanding doodle poll for the times.

<McCool> https://doodle.com/poll/gucnmwm87khskxfm

McCool: the current status of the poll has some gaps.
... (scribe - times that don't work for everyone.)
... added some candidate time slots. 9AM Eastern US is reasonable.
... only able to get 2-3 hours a day that's workable, and we had wanted 3-4 hours.
... kaz, should we start an hour earlier (i.e. 8am Atlantic)
... suggest we add an earlier hour each day to the doodle.

<kaz> ACTION: kaz to add 8am ADT as well to the doodle

Kaz: waiting for response on possible support for VPN by the Systeam

McCool: people should register

Kaz: should I list plugfest participation on the registration form?

McCool: yes.

<kaz> ACTION: kaz to add question about plugfest participation as well to the WBS

McCool: WISHI registration is important - virtual workshop with T2TRG

TPAC

McCool: not 100% sure that there will be an in person TPAC this year.
... chairs are asking our members, with results due 19 May.
... all WG members should fill out the questionnaire (second link) BEFORE 19 May.
... assuming a physical meeting and a plugfest, where could we do it?

<kaz> extracted questionnaire for the WoT participants

McCool: I would guess there will be restrictions on size of gatherings.
... maybe 10 people?
... few people, big room.
... I'll reach out to some universities.

<inserted> Kaz: note that there is a dedicated question about the possible host for the plugfest in Vancouver within the WBS for WoT participants

TF reports

McCool: any reports?
... we met with Franhaupfer and discussed LinkSmart. It uses JSON Path - though JSON Path is not a real spec yet (like JSON Schema)
... are there TF cancellations this week?

Sebastian: I'm not sure I'm joining the marketing call
... and you (mccool) can't make it, either, so I propose we cancel the meeting tomorrow.
... I will send a notice.

Adjourned.
