Subject: RE: [dita] Chair's review for DITA 1.2 Acknowledgments


Hi,

 

If it’s possible, I think it would be best to have a single company name “JustSystems” for the following names:

 

Paul Prescod, JustSystems

Yas Etessam, JustSystems

Su-Laine Yeo, JustSystems

 

Yas’s name was misspelled in the draft below. Right on about Paul being an institution all to himself. We all miss him, eh?

 

Su-Laine

For others, we seem to have a pattern of recording the affiliation at the time of contribution.


If no company affiliation, then "Individual Member" works only if he became a member of Oasis as an individual after leaving BlastRadius and (by the above logic) if he continued contributing to what has become DITA 1.2 after that date.

 

Or maybe the implication is that Paul is an institution unto himself. :->

I think we're best off not attributing Paul Prescod to a company. He left BlastRadius at the time of the JustSystems buyout. XMetaL is not a company name (and never was).

I think they still call it the XMetaL Group within JustSystems--Su-Laine would know of course.

Paul Antonov was only ever an Individual member since OASIS's fees are tough on low-profit startups. Paul Prescod seems to have had the Blast Radius email at the time, but if we just put XMetaL, he's covered either way, right?

Paul Prescod was with XMetal, now JustSystems. I'm pretty sure he left
before the transition to JustSystems, but I could be wrong.
 
Paul Antonov is/was with Syntext Serna, but may have belonged as an
individual member - Don, do you know?

Paul Prescod no longer is a member of the DITA TC. Does someone know what
company he represented or whether he was an individual member? Ditto for
Paul Antonov.
 
Best,

      I had assumed that all output versions were the same, but my own name
      is represented differently in the PDF version, which is later than

            One of our prep steps is to review the Acknowledgments page,
            which I had organized based on my review of various DITA TC
            records.  Please take a moment to verify:
 
            1. Is your name listed but you prefer to opt out?
            2. Might I have overlooked a contribution for which you wish to
            be acknowledged?
            3. Any corrections? Note that this list contains names of
            anyone for whom I was able to discover contributions, including
            some that occurred prior to the formal start of DITA 1.2 work.
            In other cases, member affiliations may have changed. I used
            the affiliation of record at the time, but you may prefer a
            different attribution for this page.
 
            The subject content is the first topic under Appendices in any
            of the review copies, and I've also pasted it below my
            signature in this post.
 
            You may reply to myself or to this post; I'll update the topic
            as necessary. Thanks!
