implementation related items from OASIS - interest in a call?

Hi,

I've attached a couple notes below from
the OASIS staff regarding opportunities related to implementations.  

First is a call for participants in
interop demo's planned from now through early next year.   Let us
know your thoughts on this. 

The second is a call for info about
implementations that OASIS can share with analysts during upcoming events.
  If you have information you'd like to share, please work directly
with Carol. 

We haven't had a call in a long time
- is there interest in getting together next Monday, June 14 to disucss
possible activities?  Let me know and if enough folks are interested,
I'll set up a conference call.

Thanks.  

Regards, Diane

[chairs]  Interop Demo
Opportunities

Dear TC chairs,

The Consortium is making plans now for an exciting fall/winter with some
great opportunities for OASIS InterOps. These public interoperability demonstrations
showcase multi-vendor implementations of approved OASIS work. Usually hosted
in connection with a conference or trade show, OASIS InterOps are official
Consortium activities, endorsed by one or more OASIS TCs, and mutually
supported by OASIS staff and OASIS InterOp participants. 

Staff will provide assistance in promoting and organizing these events,
but the real energy (and scripts) comes from the TC
leadership and members.  TC
participants demonstrate the usefulness
of a spec, and its practical availability across a range of vendor platforms.
 

Prior InterOps have generated tremendous
energy and strong trade press for the
work product.  Public InterOp events are an excellent opportunity
to demonstrate real, shippable standards-based solutions for e-business
problems.     

Several conference organizers are interested in featuring OASIS InterOps,
they include: 

1) Delphi (4-7 Oct, BPX 2004)

2) OASIS Open Standards Days (4-8 Oct.)

3) Gartner (15-17 Nov, Applications Integration and Web Services Summit)

4) IDEAlliance (XML 2004, 16-18 Nov) <http://www.xmlconference.org/xmlusa/>

5) RSA (23-27 Feb) <http://2004.rsaconference.com/us/c4p/>

  

If your TC has an approved OASIS Committee
Draft or OASIS Standard, or expects to be at that stage prior to these
events, we encourage you to consider conducting a multi-member InterOp.
 However, in order to make arrangements, we need to hear from you
by June 15. If there is another conference at which you'd like to demonstrate,
please let us know. We are ready to work with you to coordinate logistics,
participation, and promotion.

Clearly, conferences organizers want OASIS InterOps because they recognize
the quality of the work of OASIS TCs and the growing market power of open
standards. Your diligence and efforts to advance open standards are much
appreciated. 

Regards,

 

Dee Schur

OASIS to brief analysts on
Web services standards

Chairs of OASIS Web services TCs,

This month, OASIS begins an international tour to brief analysts and key

editors on our work in Web services standards. Patrick Gannon and members
of

the OASIS Board of Directors will be meeting with the media in various

cities around the world to help them better understand the full breadth
of

our Web services efforts (more than 14 TCs are directly involved) and our

accomplishments to date. 

Naturally, analysts and editors are always anxious to hear about adoption,

and it's great when we can point to actual implementations and use cases
of

our Web services standards at work. If your TC is aware of deployments
of

your specifications--implementations we can mention to editors--please
let

me know. Concrete examples will strengthen our message and help us promote

your efforts as effectively as possible. 

Best regards,

Carol
