We have targeted Wednesday, 1 June, for distribution. While OASIS deeply appreciates the contributions of all members to our technical work, only Foundational Sponsors and Sponsor members elect to receive promotional benefits, such as inclusion in announcements directed to the press. The DITA OASIS Standard press release, therefore, will feature the following statement: "DITA was developed by members of the OASIS DITA Technical Committee, which includes representatives of Arbortext, BMC Software, IBM, Innodata, Intel, Nokia, Oracle, Sun Microsystems, the US Department of Defense, and others." *Any* Sponsor member of OASIS may submit a quote in support of DITA's approval as an OASIS Standard--you do not have to be a member of the OASIS DITA TC. If you represent a Foundational Sponsor or Sponsor member of OASIS, and you would like to send a quote, please email that to me, including a name and title at your company to whom the quote can be attributed. If your organization is not a Sponsor member of OASIS, and you would like to submit a quote for this press release, please contact Scott McGrath (scott.mcgrath@oasis-open.org) immediately for information on upgrading your membership to take advantage of this promotional benefit. For details on DITA see: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/dita **Our absolute deadline for accepting Sponsor quotes for the press release is noon ET Friday, 27 May.** Regards, Carol ______________________________ Carol Geyer Director of Communications OASIS Voice: +1.978.667.5115 x209
