OSLC Specification Update (OASIS TCs, open-services.net WGs), 3rd Quarter 2014 report

I regularly give an overall specification, Technical Committee and Working Group update for the OSLC Steering Committee.  I thought it would be useful to share it more broadly as well.  Intended to be a brief high-level update, perhaps quarterly. (if I missed anything or misspoke, let me know I'll get it fixed up)
