What activities are the community involved in?

Community activity happens in OSLC workgroups. A workgroup is an interest group formed around a specific topic to explore tool integration scenarios and to author specifications for services that support those scenarios. Ten  workgroups are operating today. Workgroups define their own milestone plans and progress  through several phases on their way to completing a version of a specification.

Who’s involved?

The OSLC wiki has a list of people who have registered on the community site. The full list  includes those who are actively tracking or involved in an OSLC workgroup, as well as some who are simply curious.

Workgroups include individuals with a range of experiences and skills. They have a mix of IT and Systems expertise in software delivery, and hail from a variety of organization types, including systems integrator, ISV, industry, open source, higher education, and consulting groups.
