This would allow JIRA to integrate with ALM tools from IBM, Oracle, Rally, SourceGear, etc. The Mylyn folks are already involved. Here&#39;s the link to the OSLC-CM home page: <a href="http://open-services.net/bin/view/Main/CmHome">http://open-services.net/bin/view/Main/CmHome</a>. OSLC-CM v1 is the current spec and work on v2 is underway. It&#39;s an open effort and we&#39;d love JIRA and/or JIRA users to join in and help us define v2.</p> </blockquote>
