2016 Event Plans for your TC

Dear
OASIS TC Chairs,

 

Happy
New Year!  We hope 2016 brings much
happiness and success. 

 

As
we enter 2016, we’ll be making our rounds to all the Technical Committees (TCs). 
It is our hope to include your TC activities into our master schedule, so we
can better provide all our members with the visibility they deserve. 
While discussing your 2016 plans with your TC, you may want to consider a few
of the following OASIS-supported activities:         

 

·        
Interops, including
demonstrations, showcases, and plugfests. 
Usually held at an industry conference or trade show, these events
provide high visibility, low cost opportunities for members to demonstrate
their standards-compliant products, interoperate with others, and connect with
prospective customers, press, and the community at large.  More details.  OASIS Interop
policy.  

·        
Pre-OS webinars.  These webinars are designed to
provide our TCs with a platform to explain the basics about their
specifications to people who might not be familiar with this area of
technology. Webinar goals are to achieve the approval threshold faster,
reach a higher OS vote total and help elevate awareness of the work.  More information
& past webinars.   

 

·        
TC-related
presentation promotion at industry conferences. OASIS works to
promote presentations concerning the activities of the Consortium and its TCs.
If a representative from your TC is speaking at a public conference--and the
presentation focuses on any OASIS Standards or TC specifications, we will be
happy to post information on the OASIS event calendar and in OASIS News. After
the conference, your presentation may also be posted on the OASIS website.

form.

 

·        
WateringHole video conversations.  WateringHoles are live video
conversations featuring 2-3 experts sharing insights and/or debate issues on
topics that matter. Topic suggestions are always welcome.  The conversations are hosted as Google+
hangouts and recorded on YouTube. People can tune in live, but most watch after
the fact.  View more information &
past videos. 

 

·        
and/or TC-hosted
workshops and conferences.  If the TC should decide to hold a workshop
and/or conference to increase awareness of the work and/or participation in Consortium
activities, OASIS staff may be available to support such an initiative.  If interested in pursuing such an activity,
please contact 
– to discuss in more detail.

 

As
a reminder, we are happy to help coordinate any event effort, so please keep us
informed whenever the TC discusses their plans.  All TCs are strongly
encouraged to discuss their plans early in the year. I am available to attend a
TC call to help facilitate that discussion, so please let me know if that would
be appropriate.     

 

We
hope you will consider planning in advance to help us facilitate collaboration,
not only for your TC, but between TCs.  As always, we thank you for your
continued support and look forward to working on your event plans for 2016.

 

Kind
Regards, Jane
