Rup template for vsts

I was wondering if there is already a rup process template avaible for visual studio team system.

Because many software development organisations has some kind of software development life cylce, eg rup, msf, dsdm.

let say you adopted rup. Tailored the process, trained people and so on. And now you see the cool features of visual studio team system.

Well that's way I was searching for the internet to find if there is already a rup process template. Will searching I came across these two blogs of Eric Jarvi and Rob Caron. They link to Osellus. It is the Iris Process Author. With this tool you can import your rup process and export it to a format that can be imported by Visual studio Team system.

Watch these two video's: Import Rup into vsts and Iris Process Author.
