Subject: [T2TRG] Summary meeting: Strengthening the industry updates section

At the T2TRG summary meetings, we have always used some time to hear and discuss updates from industry.  We are thinking of strengthening that segment, while clarifying its goal.

Why are we interested in industry updates?
The main problem with the other sources where you can get information about industry activities is that few engineers, and much fewer researchers, can understand what is being said.
Great press releases, but the technical aspect is not tangible.
Hearing the updates from people who are deep into the technical details will allow us to understand what is going on and, more importantly, to see where technical work would be useful or is now becoming possible.

So, if you excuse the thinly veiled examples, this should be less about:
“Join our global ecosystem of developers who are making the Internet of Things a reality"
than:
“We managed to convince ourselves that RIPv2 actually is the IoT routing protocol of choice, and here are the reasons:…”.
or:
“We are trying to pick up JSON-LD as our representation format, got this far, and now can use all the help we can get"

So, if you have interesting things to say in this context about an industry player or an industry group/SDO, please talk to the chairs.  This week, we would like to complete the agenda for the summary meeting in ten days.

Grüße, Carsten
