Sebastian: Something else to share here?
Lagally: If we think about outreach, maybe we could reconsider meeting with them and others, keeping a timeslot for a OPC-UA meeting
Sebastian: Maybe we should make a decision if we want to speak with them on the Use-Case call
Lagally: Agrees
Lagally: Maybe a wider audience could be good for outreach
Lagally: Is there something else we can do to promote WoT?
Sebastian: OPC-UA binding for WoT is probably interesting for them
