Welcome to the OSLC SCM team! I will set up our initial meeting after giving people a little more time to respond to the call for participation. In the mean time, I welcome questions, and I also invite participants to introduce themselves and state why they have joined the group; this way, the mail archives will record this information, which should be useful for new members joining the team in the future.
To start with myself, my name is Nick Crossley, and I work for IBM Rational on the Synergy SCM and Change CM products (previously Telelogic products). I am based in Costa Mesa in California, so that will have some impact on meeting times - most of the rest of the current participants are in the U.S. Eastern time zone. I have worked on CM and SCM tools about 20 years, and on compilers and operating systems before that. I am very interested in standard REST services for SCM because we produce a number of products that integrate with a variety of SCM tools, including Rational Synergy, Rational ClearCase, Rational Team Concert, and Subversion. I am also interested in seeing consistency and interoperation between a wide variety of OSLC services, including requirements, change, software configuration, and quality/test management. Nick.
