discussed conference experiences

        machine
industry moving towards dita

        major
cms vendors starting to add dita support

        strong
interest in markdown mappings at dita europe

        more
people joining sc/tc 

        jang:
need to consider relationship to other standards in germany eg pi-mod -
will add as part of to machine industry analysis

        dita
europe attendance up by about 50% - combination of of tcworld/dita-ot may
have helped

        dita-ot
day had ca. 95 in person, ca. 40 online

personas - we need to include external
clients and tool vendors, not just content development roles

jan benedictus/fonto introduction

        focus
on sme contribution

        how
to attract smes to conferences?

        concept
of lw dita focus on beginners very interesting

jang - maybe instead of trying to attract
them to our conferences, bring our views to their conferences/tradeshows

where to put dtds

        kris:
they should go in oasis svn, that should be official location

         
      but can go in github as well, as non-normative
copy

        kris
can help with svn side

        mark
can help with github side

mark - sees potential connection with
web components - will post examples to list

jang - would be interested in moving
to rng for lw dita schemas, and also to generating schemas from example
documents

michael - current thought is on a specialization
document type that allows specification of the required elements/model
for a specialization

        -
could be generated in its own right from example documents, but don't want
to require an example analysis process for getting lw dita specializations

Talk to you all again in two weeks!
