Use Cases

Sebastian: Chairs are discussing how to continue with WoT Use Cases
… continue to organize the Use Cases TF?
… or think about integrated use cases as part of the REC-track documents like WoT Thing Description
… possibly as a section within it
… also need to think about how to reorganize the WoT Use Cases Note
… because it includes old contents as well as the new use cases
… we should think about WoT Onboarding and Discovery also
… everybody is encouraged to think about the question
… which direction to go
… Mizushima-san, do you have any specific opinions?
… or anybody

Kaz: given there are many people missing, we should discuss that next time

Mizushima: recently, use cases calls are cancelled
… there are no participants and difficult to have the TF call
… if it's possible, would like to discuss this issue with Sebastian and Koster during the next use cases call

Sebastian: can make it

Kaz: if that's discussion around how to accelerate the TF work within the TF itself, that's fine
… but given you've already put this topic as part of the main call agenda today, we should have the discussion during the main call next week

Sebastian: we'll have the use case call anyway, so can have some discussion during the use case call first
… and then have another discussion during the main call after that

TPAC 2025

Sebastian: need to organize the preparation for Plugfest and F2F
… also need to find a sponsor for the Plugfest
… Kaz will create a Wiki page for the preparation

Kaz: will do shortly

Sebastian: no problem
… there is still 5 more months
