Comments on: Tasktop Sync 2.0 released, ALM repository introspection and task linking with OSLC http://tasktop.com/blog/eclipse/tasktop-sync-2-0-released Task-focused productivity for Enterprise Agile ALM Tue, 14 May 2013 14:18:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Mik Kersten http://tasktop.com/blog/eclipse/tasktop-sync-2-0-released/comment-page-1#comment-160029 Mik Kersten Tue, 29 Nov 2011 00:02:34 +0000 http://tasktop.com/blog/?p=5442#comment-160029 Thanks for pointing that out Steve. I did not intend to be exclusive of other contributors in stating that we started working on it together. And I do believe that the statement "This feature has been three years in the making, kicked off when we started collaborating with IBM on the OSLC-CM protocol" is historically accurate, as I have some fond recollections of those early OSLC brainstorming sessions, Bluezoo and all. I'm still amazed at how the efforts that went into both the CLM side of the implementation and now Tasktop Sync are able to provide this kind of server-side integration and web UI mashup, as three years ago I had not imagined it could be made to work this smoothly. Both the way that the CLM integration consumes it, and how Tasktop was forced to add layout hints to the Mylyn data model in order to support Visual Studio, which supported reusing those hints in a generic web UI layout. Really neat to see these pieces of technology come together in such a user-friendly way. Thanks for pointing that out Steve.

Should be mentioned that the collaboration on the OSLC specifications was more than just with IBM, there was also work from Accenture, Oracle, SourceGear, Rally Software, BSD Group to name a few. See http://open-services.net/bin/view/Main/CmSpecificationV2#Contributors Greatly appreciate Tasktop's contributions and role in getting OSLC where it is today. Great work.

Greatly appreciate Tasktop’s contributions and role in getting OSLC where it is today.
