Paul,

"I hereby certify that Tridium is successfully using the oBIX Committee

Standard Version 1.0 in accordance with the OASIS TC Process."

We have three implementations:

  1) full client/server implementation for Niagara AX

  2) full server implementation for Niagara R2

  3) client implementation in open source Java oBIX Toolkit

So if JCI or Siemens are using our Niagara
oBIX implementation as OEMs, then that counts as a "successful use"?

I was thinking that we had to have 3 different implementations, but it is just
use of the standard then?  Also if Tridium could be considered an
different organization from Honeywell I can dig up something there too.

I also know Trane is building an oBIX implementation.

I've had some emails with Bob Dolan at Echelon that leads me to suspect they
might have an implementation - you might want to send Bob an email if you don't
hear from him.

Also does the use of oBIX at UNC count thru Toby?  We have other customers
using oBIX, but I don't think any are OASIS members.

Brian

This may be a challenge.  It looks like Johnson Controls and Siemens are

both members of OASIS and could complete this certification.  Can you
please

follow up with your contacts in these organizations?  Timing is critical
do

get this done since there is a long lead time on the standard vote.  Need
it

ASAP.

Thanks;

Paul

Congratulations to the members of the oBIX committee on having successfully

passed this as a "Committee Standard".  We are now working with
OASIS staff

on the correct procedure to proceed to making this an OASIS standard. 
There

are a number of important criteria that need to be met, prior to a full

vote.  One of these is documentation on "successful use" of
oBIX.  In order

to complete this certification I need you to send me an e-mail  with the

following text:

"I hereby certify that (company X) is successfully using the oBIX
Committee

Standard Version 1.0 in accordance with the OASIS TC Process."

Rules:

1)       We are required to document a minimum of
three of these

certifications

2)       Certifications must be from OASIS
organizational members,  it can't

be from an individual or associate member (but they do not have to be oBIX

committee members )

3)       The certification must be from the
member (not from a third party)

4)       It does not appear to be a requirement
that the implementation be

in a commercially available (i.e. shipping) product.  If you have

successfully tested the standard in a desktop or lab environment then that

is adequate.
