Hi Chet, Sean, and all:

Today, the PROMCODE consortium had a regular steering committee meeting,  and
decided the name of TC as Sean suggested:
OASIS OSLC Lifecycle Integration for Project Management of
Contracted Delivery (OSLC PROMCODE)

TC

Chet, please find the revised charter attached.
If you have any concerns, please let me know.

Aoyama-san:
I also prefer the second choice.
In talking to Chet on a separate thread, he reminded me that  there is also an explanatory sentence that shows up in the list of TCs and on  the TC webpage. Examples, see:
https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/
https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=oslc-core
This gives a way for us to still get  Software Supply  Chains  in front of people wondering what the TC is about.

Hi Chet,
I'm checking with the
Steering Committee about dropping the  OSLC Lifecycle Integration  words as
this is something that they wanted all affiliated TCs to have. (It's
surprising that the vendor couldn't simply instruct you to update the database
schema to increase that limit ... *shrug*)
For now, I've got a
pair of suggestions that keep those words by dropping others: 1. OASIS OSLC
Lifecycle Integration for Project Management of Software Supply Chains
(OSLC-PROMCODE)

TC (100 chars) 2. OASIS OSLC Lifecycle Integration for
Project Management of Contracted Delivery (OSLC-PROMCODE)

Mikio, Sean and all -
We have run into a technical limitation in our
system that requires me to ask for a change to the PROMCODE charter.
We just learned, in setting up the website for
the TC, that we are restricted to a 100 character limit to the name of the TC.
We have checked with the vendor of our software and we’re told that this is a
hard limit in the system and cannot be changed.
Unfortunately, we now find that the name as we
all agreed to it is 23 characters over the 100 limit  and will have to be
shortened. (Specifically, OASIS OSLC Lifecycle Integration for Project
Management of Contracted Delivery for Software Supply C^^hain (OSLC PROMCODE)

TC)
The decision on the name is up to all of you
of course. We worked to see what options we could come up with and here are
two suggestions we can offer:
- OASIS OSLC Project Management of Contracted
Delivery for Software Supply Chain (PROMCODE)

TC  (92
characters)
- OASIS Project Management of Contracted
Delivery for Software Supply Chain (OSLC PROMCODE)

TC (91 characters)
Please note that we need to keep “OASIS” at
the start of the name and “TC” at the end. We don’t absolutely need to have
the parenthetical abbreviation included. You can also abbreviate some of the
words if you like (e.g. ‘PM’ instead of ‘Project Management’). We didn't want
to make any assumptions on what abbreviations might or might not work for you.
Again, please accept my apologies for hitting
this problem at this late stage of the process. We have simply never hit this
limit before and it took us by surprise.
If you would let us know what name you all
decide to use, we’ll proceed with getting everything set up for the Call for
Participation.
Best regards,

Mikio, this looks fine. Can you
do one last thing for me? Accept all your changes so that the form of the
document is final, then save it as a plain text file (not a .doc format
file) and send that to me as the final, formal submission. I will then get

Notes from the PROMCODE convener call

Proposers of the PROMCODE Technical
Committee,
Following the close of the call for comment
period on your proposed charter, the convener call was held yesterday, 14
February 2014, 10:00 am JST, 13 February 2014, 8:00 pm US EDT. Dr. Mikio
Aoyama, the convener, Sean Kennedy from the OSLC Member Section and Chet
Ensign from OASIS were in attendance.
We noted that two comments were received on
the draft charter: a request that a link to the existing PROMCODE
specification that will be contributed be provided in the charter and a
recommendation to change the proposed TC name to align with the pattern
being used by the other TCs affiliated with the OSLC Member Section. Dr.
Aoyama said that the proposers will make these changes. He has provided a
comment resolution log for these comments to OASIS.
We reviewed the next steps for starting the
Technical Committee and the upcoming schedule:
- Submission of the final version of the
charter: no later than Wednesday, 19 February, 2014
- OASIS issues the Call for Participation: no
later than Sunday, 23 February, 2014
- OASIS issues a reminder of the upcoming
deadline to join the TC and be eligible for voting rights at the first
meeting: Monday, 10 March, 2014
- OASIS issues the call for nominations for
chair:  Monday, 10 March, 2014
- Last day to join the TC in time to have
voting rights at the first meeting: Tuesday, 18 March, 2014
- OASIS issues the list of members eligible
to vote at the first meeting: Wednesday, 19 March, 2014
- First meeting of the TC: Tuesday, 25 March
2014
We reviewed the resources that will be
available to the TC when the Call for Participation is issued: the
internal and public web pages, the email listserv, the roster, calendar
and document repository. I covered the additional capabilities that the TC
can request after the initial meeting: a wiki, JIRA project and SVN
version control repository.
We discussed steps that OASIS will take to
publicize the TC and solicit additional participants. Sean mentioned that
the Member Section has been running webcasts on OSLC work and that
PROMCODE will be included in an upcoming one on the 19th of February. We
discussed that it would be useful if the Call for Participation were
available at that time.
We then closed the meeting. Please let me
know if you have any questions about any of the above or about the
upcoming steps.

OASIS OSLC Lifecycle Integration for Project Management of  Contracted Delivery (OSLC PROMCODE)

TC Charter  (1) (a) The name of the TC OASIS OSLC Lifecycle Integration for Project Management of Contracted  Delivery (OSLC PROMCODE)

Technical Committee  (1) (b) Statement of Purpose Global software delivery is commonplace today. With ever increasing pressure, such as faster delivery, competitive cost, and skill availability, it is becoming common for software delivery to be done by collaboration of multiple organizations forming a chain of carriers and suppliers.  Resembling the traditional manufacturing industry supply chain, this trend of software delivery is often called a Software Supply Chain (SSC). The SSC is a new paradigm of software delivery, where carriers and suppliers work together. Effective collaboration between an SSC acquirer and supplier requires activities to be managed and information to be shared across  organizational boundaries.  The management of software deliverycan be highly challenging due to the diversity of the development process, method, tools and platforms used by organizations participating in the supply chain. As a result, both the information shared and the management used are usually unique to each organization. Typically, manual operations are performed in exchanging proprietary information and in coordinating activities; resulting in inefficient, error-prone and inflexible operations. As the number of organizations involved in software delivery increases, the need for more systematic and standards-based information  sharing and coordination  becomes critical. PROMCODE (PROject Management of COntracted Delivery for software supply chains)  is a set of specifications to exchange project management information across organizational boundaries [1]. PROMCODE leverages OSLC specifications [2, 3, 4] and defines a set of resources and links as abstraction of information used in many real projects in SSC. PROMCODE was initially developed  by six leading IT companies and a university in Japan who subsequently validated  PROMCODE use in each organization's project environment. The OASIS OSLC PROMCODE TC intends to build on this work to create an open standard specification of a model and information used for project management in SSC. The initiative calls for broad participation from anyone  interested in the topic so that the resulting specification will be widely  applicable to the global community.  (1) (c) Scope The OSLC PROMCODE TC defines technical elements and guidelines for project management of Software Supply Chains. The OSLC PROMCODE TC will examine  the work done by the PROMCODE consortium on exchanging project management  information [1], and will modify/extend the work so that it fits the needs of  the global community.  The OSLC PROMCODE TC will work to: 1) Define a model of project management information for SSC. A model should describe a minimum set of information and relationships  commonly used by carriers and suppliers to manage software delivery. 2) Define a set of resources and their relationships following the OSLC framework as defined by the OSLC Core TC. 3) Create additional technical elements as required to support current and future scenarios for OSLC User Groups, OSLC MS-affiliated TCs, Subcommittees and the OSLC Member Section Steering Committee. 4) Leverage existing work, such as existing OSLC specifications, as much as possible.  If gaps are identified, the OSLC PROMCODE TC will attempt to  resolve them with other affiliated TCs prior to defining new concepts within  PROMCODE.  (1) (d) Deliverables The OSLC PROMCODE TC is expected to produce within 24 months after the first meeting: 1) Scenarios: a set of scenarios illustrating user stories in the project management for SSC. 2) Specifications: Based on the scenarios, a set of specifications will be developed to address technical requirements for project management for SSC.The set of specifications will provide terminology and rules for defining resource vocabularies in terms of the property names and value-types, and will recommend various resource representations. 3) Supporting and enabling material to support broad adoption including: a) Guidance: informative, non-normative material covering topics such as implementation, resource design, and specification development. b) Best Practices: publication of various best and good practices to aid in the implementation of specifications and interoperable solutions. 4) Terminology: a common set of terms intended to be used by the OSLC PROMCODE TC. 5) Vocabulary: in support of specifications, a set of vocabularies, including tools and best practices, that can be processed either by machine or manually.  The OSLC PROMCODE TC plans to revise and expand its specifications over time, to enable functionality called for by revisions in, and expansions of, the motivational scenarios.  This means new specifications that cover additionalcapabilities may be introduced as scenarios are refined to support new capabilities.  Maintenance Once the OSLC PROMCODE TC has completed work on a specific deliverable  (whether "complete" means it has become an OASIS Standard, or simply  a Committee Specification is left to the TC's discretion), the TC will provide  maintenance for that deliverable.  The purpose of maintenance is to provide minor revisions to previously adopted deliverables to clarify ambiguities, inconsistencies and obvious errors. Maintenance is not intended to enhance a deliverable or to extend its functionality. In addition to maintenance, the TC may choose to create new versions of specifications that support additional capabilities as needed by scenarios.  (1) (e) IPR Mode This OSLC PROMCODE TC will operate under the "RF (Royalty Free) on Limited Terms"  IPR mode as defined in the OASIS Intellectual Property Rights (IPR)

Policy.  (1) (f) Anticipated audience of the work The OSLC PROMCODE TC will produce a set of specifications that are applicable to two types of interest groups:  1) End users of the specifications, including implementers (software suppliers, open source project teams, and developers of custom business software) 2) Developers of OSLC specifications, including those produced by OSLC MS-affiliated TCs and other standards groups The work should be of interest to anyone involved with integration of project management tools.  (1) (g) Language The OSLC PROMCODE TC will conduct its business in English. The TC may elect to form subcommittees that produce localized documentation of the TC's work in additional languages.  (2) Non-normative information  (2) (a) Identification of similar or related work A substantial amount of work has been done on the exchange of project management  data and tool integration for the software supply chain. The following lists some of  the highly visible initiatives.  1)  The PROMCODE Interface Specification developed by the PROMCODE Consortium:  http://www.promcode.org/en/specifications/PROMCODE-Interface-Specification-140217L.pdf
2) OASIS OSLC Lifecycle Integration Core (OSLC Core)  https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=oslc-core#resources  3) OSLC Steering Committee approved specifications from open-services.net including OSLC Change Management Specification Version 2.0:  http://open-services.net/bin/view/Main/CmSpecificationV2  4) World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)

Linked Data Platform (LDP)  http://www.w3.org/2012/ldp/charter  5) Eclipse Lyo, a reference implementation of OSLC  http://eclipse.org/lyo
(2) (b) Date, Time and Location of the first meeting The first meeting will be held by teleconference at 8:00 p.m. on March, 25, 2014 (Eastern Daylight Time) or 9:00 a.m. on March 26, 2014 (Japanese Standard Time). Nanzan University will sponsor this call.  (2) (c) Ongoing meeting schedule The OSLC PROMCODE TC intends to meet by teleconference every month  (2) (d) The names, electronic mail addresses, and membership affiliations of co-proposers 1) Mikio Aoyama, , Nanzan University 2) Tsutomu Kamimura, , IBM Corp. 3) Kazuo Yabuta, , Fujitsu Limited  4) Nobuhiko Kishinoue, , NEC Corporation 5) Hiroyuki Yoshida, , Fujitsu Limited
