Re: [dita] Pre-OS vote orientation webinar opportunity

[Kristen James Eberlein <kris@eberleinconsulting.com>]

Hi, Jane.

I'll add this to the agenda for our next TC meeting.

Can you tell me:

• How many TCs have done one of these pre-OS vote orientation webinars?
  
• What has the attendance for these pre-OS vote orientation webinars been?
• Are there recordings of previous pre-OS vote orientation webinars that we could view?

Thanks for thinking of us.

Best,
Kris

Members of the DITA TC, 

We want to offer you the opportunity to try something new with us: a pre-OS vote orientation webinar. This webinar would be targeted at the OASIS membership, but could be open to anyone who wants to attend. The purpose is to let representatives of the TC explain the basics about the specifications to people who might not be familiar with this area of technology.  We would like to see if this will result in achieving the approval threshold faster and reaching a higher OS vote total. We'd also like to see if it would help elevate awareness of the work within OASIS (i.e.leading to more citations to the DITA OSs from other OASIS TCs.)

To be most effective, we think it would be best to hold this about two weeks before the vote. Your 60 day public review will end November 15th, so sometime around the 3rd or 4th is probably best. Please discuss this idea within the TC and let us know if there is any interest by Friday, October 9th. 

Kind regards, Jane
