minutes of last week's call
<kaz> Feb-24
McCool: this week there's a conflict between architecture and plugfest
Lagally: we will start at 4pm UTC tomorrow (1 hour later)
Marketing updates
Sebastian: we have released out Webpage for the first of March, am very happy we have the representation here
… thanks a lot to Daniel and all contributors
… the page is online now but perhaps not complete
… structure of WG is here, now we can optimize step by step
… people can provide PRs in the weekly marketing call
… we also have an animation video which is public on youtube
… this is very helpful to disseminate WoT to the public
… there was some surprise that the Webpage has been published
… our assumption was that the publication was ok according to our roadmap
… the process is that everyone in the group can provide a PR, the marketing team can decide whether to bring it in
Lagally: would acknowledge all your hard work on the new WoT page
… but there was some missing piece about the procedure
… when the marketing TF was formed we had an agreement that all external facing communication would require approval in the main TF
… outbound communication is very important, so would record clear resolution on the public minutes as well
… we should clarify the process
Sebastian: tx for providing your view
Daniel: there was some kind of misunderstanding, this early publication was not well communicated
… if we want to provide more information we can post on twitter
… we decided we should not need more circles for blog posts
… I agree we need to decide on the next steps, how to approve changes to the web page
McCool: Yes, we need a more formal approval process but don't want to repeat all work of the marketing group in the main call
… timing is important in some cases, waiting a week may be too long, e.g. for publishing to twitter
… let's take this off-line, we can work out a proposed procedure in the marketing call next week and come back with a proposal to the main call next week
… does this make sense?
<kaz> kaz: +1
Sebastian: makes sense for me
<Zakim> dape, you wanted to use twitter or generic w3c blog is still possible
Sebastian: twitter communication may require faster speed
… I had the impression that we were very transparent
… I agree with Lagally that we have to get an approval but we did not get any objection
… We should improve the publication policy, will discuss in next Marketing call
McCool: Bulk of the work can be done in the marketing call, but approval should be done in the main call
<kaz> kaz: +1
WoT Use Cases
<kaz> WoT Use Cases Editor's Draft
<kaz> ml: Chapter 4 in pretty good shape
<kaz> ... some cleaning up remaining
Sebastian: publication is planned for in two weeks
Kaz: if that is the plan I'm ok to continue the discussion on Tuesday
… but please note that this is an IG note and the first publication, so it does not have to be perfect
repository changes
Some repos already have been changed (master->main), others not yet done
<kaz> done: wot-testing, wot-discovery, wot-security, wot-thing-description
Ege: I can't change it in the binding templates repo

Lagally: all repos
McCool: yes
