Re: [dita] Presentation for DITA NA?

Hi, Dawn.

    
We discussed this at this last TC meeting, and our thought was
      that Eric Sirois at IXIASOFT would be an excellent person to do a
      session on bookmaps. He is the champion of our DITA 2.0 proposal
      for work in that area.

    
And yes, the DITA TC would love to share a table with the
      DITA Adoption TC at CMS/DITA North America 2019. I'll send a
      separate e-mail in which I cc OASIS about this.

    

    
Best,

Hi All,

        
Iâve got a session opening on the agenda in
          a block of topics that has to do with upcoming changes â for
          example, Nancy will be speaking on the separation of the TC
          package and what that means, Keith will talk about multimedia
          coming to DITA. I was thinking another topic of interest, even
          though it may not be fully fleshed out is the possible
          re-architecture of bookmaps. I think it could be a good
          session both to keep the community apprised of the committee
          thoughts but also to gather information about what people like
          or donât like about bookmaps. Do you agree? Is there someone
          who might lead this session (preferably not someone already on
          the program).

Second, Iâm planning to set aside Wednesday
          afternoon, technically after the final session, as we did last
          year for an open session on The Trouble with DITA: Improving
          DITA Satisfaction. ÂIf you were there last year, you know
          topics in that session ranged all over the place, and I would
          just like to invite those of you planning to attend to be stay
          as long as possible to address the questions and comments.

Third, Stan asked if the DITA Adoption
          committee could have a table to try to recruit in the vendor
          area. If we do this, I was thinking that such a table might
          not just be for DITA Adoption but for all the committees to
          have a presence to recruit, gather data, answer questions, and
          so on. Do you see value in this idea or have ideas about how
          it might be best used for the committee and subcommittees?

Thanks,
