1. openMDM Status Report, Sven Wittig/Ralph Müller

Sven was looking back over the last year. His topics included membership development. The EWG lost Atos, NorCom and Piterion, while Bridging IT has joined the EWG. 
He also went over the state of the services delivered by the members in accordance to the charter, where he highlighted the achievements from Atos (Issue Tracking system), Canoo (Project Lead Web Project), itemis (Evaluation of options for a CI environment) and Peak Solution (Requirements Management). As a note to the steering committee Sven mentioned that the SC needs to create more service offerings for the membership. See Sven’s slides for services already available for grabs in 2017/2018.
Another topic was the review of the current delivery schedule (projects are in time) and the current state of collaboration within the EWG. Currently, the EWG still needs better quality management processes and services. Shortcomings in the architecture departments (compliance check, documentation) were also mentioned.
