Minutes

Sep-14

Fady: any objections to the minutes?

<kaz> (none; approved)

Updates on tutorials

Ege: tutorial videos ongoing

McCool: should have outlines/scripts, etc., as well

Ege: similar to those already on GH

https://github.com/w3c/wot-marketing/tree/main/tutorials/TUM%20Courses

Ege: we have hired someone who will do the videos. He has started this week and he is going to make a sample video this month about just JSON

Philipp: I have written these tutorials that use ESPs and WoT
… I am working on a video too

McCool: really nice tutorials

<kaz> TUM courses

Kaz: the licensing should be thought of beforehand properly. If they are TUM resources, it is better to link to the TUM website

Ege: the tutorials we are making are going to be brand new and not branded with TUM

Sebastian: we don't have to submit the tutorials to the W3C no?

Sebastian: the content on the GitHub has nothing to do with the new videos right?

Ege: that is correct. We are making things from scratch

Fady: do we have a youtube channel for WoT?

McCool: we have but it depends on the definition of we. we can post to the w3c channel and tag them with wt

Fady: i think it would be good to have one

Philipp: one concern I have about youtube is advertisement. There are ads shown that we cannot control the nature of
… and we do not get any monetary benefit until 1000 views or so

Daniel: there is a new video platform by w3c?

Kaz: there are several issues here, e.g., (1) affiliation of resources under wot-marketing including presentations and videos and (2) possible problem with advertisement on youtube.

Sebastian: let's postpone it for when we have the tutorials ready

Ege: I can delete them but I cannot make actual lectures W3C content

WoT issue 954

wot issue 954 - Setting up Discussions for WoT Repositories

https://github.com/github/feedback/discussions/3691#discussioncomment-664867 for further reading

McCool: we should have discussions at one repo if we do want to have it

Ege: we can both but it is still not clear where to put these different platforms for communication/contact

How to handle groups?

McCool: we should not have two words on the menu items

Fady: I would not want to scroll or click to some link in order to find the contact information

Ege: we should have a shorter menu bar. Maybe standardization, activities, contact, developers, more

Kaz: we should have more discussions

Kaz: would suggest we have some more discussion on the structure design next week
