Making progress towards an OSLC-CM 3.0

Been a while I have talked about a specific domain working group and what has been going on.  Though the work for a post-2.0 Change Management specification has been evolving for some time, it is coming along nicely.  I've been focusing much of my energy on getting the core-est part of Core (W3C Linked Data Platform and Core 3.0) rolling, while keeping an eye and hand involved with CM.

To summarize the OSLC-CM WG has looked at a number of prioritized scenarios:

• IDE Task federation and management
• Transitioning states
• Programmatically accessing and uploading attachments
• Querying across multiple states in a single request
• Additional semantics on regards to priority, severity and additional types of resources

We currently have draft specification text for most of the scenarios above.  We are planning to enter into convergence soon and start to do some implementation to validate the specifications.

Special thanks to Sam Padgett for leading the OSLC-CM efforts, planning meetings, keeping minutes, keeping track of issues and pushing forward with the draft specification.  Looking forward to getting some of these approaches implemented and specification wrapped up.
