Workgroup name
 Some suggestions:

domain group]
 OSLC Marketing [or do we not want to come across as ‘marketing OSLC’?]

What this workgroup is for (from original proposal)
 Introduction
 This is a proposal for the creation of a workgroup to communicate about the work
of the Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) community. The
workgroup is envisioned to aim at building better visibility within the community of
the work of the various workgroups; and raising awareness of the value of the
work of the community within the applications and middleware industry and its
customers.
 Responsibilities of the workgroup
 The workgroup would have the objective of growing the active contributions to the
community, interest in the work of the community and adoption of OSLC, by
promoting the work of the community within and outside. The workgroup would be
responsible for internal (cross community, not within workgroups) and external
communications about the value of OSLC and the latest news from the community
(and associated projects like Eclipse Lyo).

Ideas of the types of communications the workgroup
should contribute to
 Regular (perhaps monthly) newsletter that summarizes the work across the
various workgroups and associated projects/events; perhaps features work
of a particular workgroup and/or OSLC implementation
 Regular podcasts perhaps rotating on the work of a featured workgroup;
and on vendor/user experiences
 Regular webcasts summarizing the latest news from the community and
associated projects/events
 Evangelism of OSLC at relevant events
 Visibility of OSLC, the work of the community and promotion of OSLC
related activities on the websites of contributing organizations and in social
media
 Support for analyst and media briefings on OSLC
 Others?
