FW: Reminder: DM OPEN SIG Special Event - Thursday March 29,12:00 Noon EDT

TC 
members,

 

I am 
extending an invitation to all of our members to a special meeting of the DM 
Open Platform for Emergency Networks  (DM_OPEN) Special interest 
Group.  Details for tomorrows 
presentation are provided below. Our presenter will be a third 
party functional expert who has had occasion to view several alerting 
products in operational interoperability mode using DM-OPEN as the sharing 
backbone in preparation for Coalition Warfare Interoperability Demonstration 
(CWID) 2007 later this summer.  He will talk about presentation clarity and 
usefulness of the user interfaces as well  general interoperability issues. 
It will not be a "comparison of specific products." It will, however, include 
recommendations for general improvement and ideas for making our use of CAP more 
effective.
