September 4 – Don Buddenbaum

The CG spent the first part of the hour with Harry providing an update/answering questions on the progress of the workshop report, and the remainder in a discussion on the group’s perspective on the implications for the SBCG.

In summary of Harry’s update, Harry indicated the following:

1. He was targeting an initial draft for review by the program committee by the end of the week, including the following content
2. OSF has agreed to a joint workgroup with W3C (this will be detailed in the report) – specifics around time lines and scope will be detailed in the charter for the workgroup
3. Ashok is moving forward with a charter for the property graphs community group
4. Harry indicated that he thought Adam Boyett was  drafting the charter for the interoperable profiles workgroup – There were a number of people on the call looking to join this effort (Lloyd Fassett, Larry Dawes, etc)
5. In general Harry stated that he is looking for these efforts to start up in parallel with the release of the report
6. Harry is still targeting the middle of September for publishing the report to the public

Harry then asked for a discussion/recommendations from the group on next steps for the SBCG, and there was an active debate that eventually came to consensus that the report should reflect the recommendation that the CG move to end of life, centered on the following key points:

1. There was broad recognition that the SBCG was successful in it’s delivery of the CTO paper and defining and organizing the workshop
2. The was broad recognition that the purpose of the SBCG was to find actionable standards work for W3C, and via the workshop that goal had been accomplished.
3. There was wide agreement that there was value in the communication/coordination role played by the SBCG (and program committee) across the diverse groups that participated in the workshop; further more,
4. the communication/coordination role should be continued
5. the CG was not the right vehicle to play that role, partially because it wasn’t chartered to play this role, crating issues around the value proposition for the participants; mostly because we need something like an IG that would represent official W3C backing of that role in the charter, in the context of other official W3C social business efforts
6. all of the new efforts (OSF/W3C, CG for property graphs, IG for communication and coordination, etc) should have each other’s role baked into their charters to officially establish partnering and an organizational hierarchy that reflects how W3C intends to move forward with social standards
7. The new IG would be public to maintain wide participation and would be the mechanism for determining when the time was right to kick-off additional efforts based on consensus of the participants that there existed consumers for new deliverables reflecting progress of W3C social business efforts, such as updating the reference architecture and/or providing additional use case documentation

Apr 10 – Don Buddenbaum

Ed Krebs lead the group through a discussion using a high level example based on the implications of interactions of employees participating in external social networks and aligning those activities with the internal social network components that have organizational responsibility for the content of the interactions.  With the idea of potentially empowering employees to represent their organizations in new ways, and the entity being interacted with receiving a predictable and repeatable initiation and response cycle with the organization regardless of the topic or employee that happen to be the point of instigation.

The purpose of the conversation was to think through the ramifications of organizations proposing and delivering use case/scenario content at the June workshop with various levels of standards analysis, the potential for getting out in front of specific areas of social business investment and looking for gaps and best practices that could aid in standards based implementations, and the lack of awareness of the existing block architecture work.

This lead to a discussion on expectations for how the SBCG/workshop would expect the use case/scenario requirements to be connected to standards/gaps in an actionable way, and whether it is appropriate for the SBCG to also inject content or maintain a focus on the implications of submitted content in the context of updating the block architecture.

This conversation will continue through the discussion lead by John Mertic on agreeing to  goals and objectives for SBCG participation on 4/17.

Ed Krebs led a discussion on looking at requirements from scenarios intersecting internal and external networks – and then putting them into the context of social capabilities aligned with key business objectives – The group agreed to continue the discussion on 4/10

Update from Harry on workshop efforts.   Positive reaction from Federated Social Web folks (Evan Prodromou), Monica Wilkinson (ActivityStreams), Mozilla (Shane Caraveo), and Pubsubhububub (Julien Gestenoux).   Harry requested feedback on additional targets.   Some names like Disney, Dell, etc were discussed based on social work they are known to be doing.  The general comment was that we also want to make sure we have sufficient end-users participation to make sure we get business oriented insight out of the workshop.

A question was raised on adoption of open social with regards to the workshop and Ed volunteered to take the group through some related material he has prepared for E2.0. Don to schedule a call.
