<koalie> [13]staging: WoT REC press release
[13] https://www.w3.org/comm/assets/staging/press-releases/pressrelease-wot-rec.html.en
Kaz: Coralie here
Coralie: head of the W3C MarComm Team
... media coordinate, etc.
... this time, draft for the press release (above)
... started with your generated talking points on the GH
... then flesh out the content
... Jeff says that we should have big impact for the press
release
... actual story to follow the standardization
... what kind of product do you have, etc.
... using WoT standards for success
... speaks directly to the business people
... you've been working on testimonials
... we can talk about your talking points in both the main body
and the testimonials
... thanks for providing your testimonial, Siemens
... that's my introduction
... hope the press release in success!
Sebastian: tx!
... we still need some text for the main body part. right?
... CSS WR's press release didn't have concrete product
introduction, etc.
Coralie: that one is not a perfect example for WoT
... WoT has bigger potential for industry impact
Sebastian: any concrete example to be referred for us?
Coralie: can provide some
Lagally: would be easier for us to have some initial version
press release
<koalie>

release-wot-rec.html.en

Kaz: how about looking at Coralie's template above?
... and our talking point
... also we can look at the workshop introduction text
Coralie: the template is mostly placeholder at the moment
... but we can look into what kind of product would be
available
Lagally: is the diagram just a placeholder?
Coralie: it's also a placeholder taken from the spec
... if you have preferred one, please let me know
Lagally: we have many diagrams within the architecture spec
... focus on different domains to be supported
[15]workshop page
[15] https://www.w3.org/WoT/ws-2019/cfp.html#introduction
Kaz: please remember that (as I repeatedly mentioned) the
Munich workshop page above already has some description about
the problem statements, our expectation for WoT as a possible
resolution and expected areas and use cases for various
industries
<koalie> +1 to use-cases
<koalie> +1 to expected impact of WoT
Daniel: btw, regarding "actual implementations and products",
there is no actual product yet probably
... or do we already have anything?
Sebastian: we have a product already
... need to confirm the product name, though
Coralie: if we could mention the actual product name, would be
great
Sebastian: let me check within Siemens
<koalie> great!
<koalie> scribenick: koalie
Kaz: I personally think it would be nice to mention all the
available devices, applications which were included in our
PlugFests
... e.g. Oracle digital twin, Hybridcast application on a TV,
Amazon echo, Google home, Air conditioners from
Panasonic/Fujitsu
Lagally: I'm skeptical because those are used for PlugFests but
not actual products yet
Kaz: The story for our Press Release could mention both (1) the
PoC so far, (2) expected products now and (3) our expectation
for the future
... that kind of 3-step story should be possible
<koalie> scribenick: kaz
Sebastian: what is the roadmap for the press release?
... can we wait until the preparation is ready?
Coralie: 2 points here
... 1. depends which comes first
... we publish the REC first and then can issue the press
release at the same time
... 2. testimonials are only part of the press release
... they're attached to the press release
... the main body is stronger
... the story should be included in the main body
Lagally: why don't we take the text from the workshop intro as
the starting point?
<koalie> will do
Lagally: maybe need some tweaks later, though
Coralie: will do that
Lagally: and we can continue to improve it
Sebastian: 2 comments
... where to start?
... starting with the mission?
Kaz: right
... and we can look into the new Charter as well
[16]new charter
[16] https://www.w3.org/2020/01/wot-wg-charter.html
Sebastian: regarding the date
... would be nice to publish the RECs and the press release on
the same day
... good opportunity to get strong impact by that
... along with testimonials from many Members
... would put the draft template on GH
... and update it with pullrequests
Coralie: sounds good
Sebastian: ok with the next steps?
... will also ask the products within Siemens
... all, please continue to work on your testimonials
... Oracle, Fujitsu, IRI, etc.
Kaz: Hitachi as well
Sebastian: right
... please provide them to us (including Coralie) so that we
can improve the press release body

WoT for Beginners (revisiting)
Kaz has gotten Christian's slides and starts to share them for
Christian.
Christian: Sebastian presented perspective of end-user and
use-case of home automation
... I tell the story from a different perspective
... start from end-user point of view
... it is a winegrower
... heard about new possibilities about wine production
... control quality of plants (humidity&temp sensors),
sprinkler, weather forecasts
... buys devices and tries to put them in operation
... and to interconnect the devices
... it gets tricky and is a bit lost
... talked to his IT consultant
... asks him to realize the IOT solution
... the developer likes challenge and has some knowledge
... Web expert with background in NodeJS
... looking around he finds information about Web of Things
... finds W3C initiative
... finds tutorials, tools aroud WoT
... manages to create fullstack IoT solution
... along with the effort he created WoT building blocks
... in the end he was able to creatng the IoT solution in a few
weeks
... ready for next challenge, hotel owner extending home
automation
Kaz: slides are great
... I think the content is perfect fit for the press release as
well :)
Christian: Copyrrights need to be clarified
Kaz: OK to share them to the WoT group list?
Christian: Will check internally
Kaz: Thanks
Kaz: scribenick: kaz
Kaz: any other comments/questions?
(none)
Kaz: in that case, let's adjourn the call today
... and continue the discussion on the slides themselves, the
press release, etc.
