Re: ODRL is coming back!

Monday night, I attended the Los Angeles Blockchain Meetup group where I announced the imminent arrival of ODRL. There was some excitement. 

Most of the group is struggling with Solidity language and some are trying to map their older smart contracts into new code since the fork was make in blockchain last year.

All in all, there is a great deal of struggle with smart contracts. Most people are trying to run smart contracts off-chain in DAPs because of uncertainty.


I learned of this Git repo
https://github.com/Overtorment/awesome-smart-contracts <https://github.com/Overtorment/awesome-smart-contracts>

And this article was discussed.

>>  
>> For the past 2 years, ODRL has been well looked after by the W3C POE Working Group [3] which will shortly cease operations as the WG has delivered on its Charter.
>>  
>> As we now move forward, we plan to move “business-as-usual” operations back to the ODRL Community Group.
>>  
>> Specifically, we will:
>> 1 - Promote ODRL V2.2 to existing and new sectors/industries
>> 2 - Nurture an ODRL implementors community
>> 3 - Support development of ODRL Profiles (and host for smaller communities)
>> 4 - Register ODRL Profiles
>> 5 - Collaborate with W3C on ODRL errata maintenance
>> 6 - Plan for future major enhancements to ODRL (V3.0)
>>  
>> This is an ambitious scope of work, and we hope all CG members will support this new work plan.
>> (Feel free to send in your comments/views/suggestions to the group.)
>>  
>> To assist in the execution of the plan, we propose to add 2 new co-chairs to the CG.
