Subject: RE: [legalxml-courtfiling] 2010 Budget Process
|
Not sure if anyone has responded to this or not, but thought I’d
chime in. I’m 100% on board with all the ideas Eric listed below,
and have been mulling this over this morning trying to think of other ideas to
help promote ECF, and am drawing a blank. The one thing I keep coming back to
is having a more interactive web site where potential implementers could go to
not only view and download materials, but participate in discussion forums, or
read blog posts submitted by implementers or TC members. That said, I don’t think something like this necessarily
requires a budget request if a TC member took on the task of setting this up. I’d
love to do it myself, but a task such as this inevitably falls to the bottom of
the priority list as I try to keep up with current business. On the other hand, if we REALLY want to make it happen, we could
submit a budget request to hire a web developer design something and get a site
set up. This of course still requires a TC member work with that person to create
the site and seed it with content. The ECFForum.net site I set up some time ago is just a basic
forums application, and doesn’t really present the idea like I’ve
suggested above. I’m thinking something more similar to the kind of sites
created when groups are promoting OpenSource products like DotNetNuke, or
WordPress. My suspicion is that while I think having this kind of site
would be ideal, probably too late to hash out a discussion on whether or not to
make any kind of budget request for it. Nonetheless, I just thought I’d
throw it out there. George W. Knecht PC Intellect LLC 602.380.8049 From: Eric Dimick Eastman
[mailto:erice@doxpop.com] Hello all, At the last steering committee conference call, just
before the Thanksgiving week, we basically got the "use it or lose
it" talk from the OASIS folks. They were, of course, nicer and more
precise than that, but that was the basic message. The money that is
already in the LegalXML MS account is not in jeopardy, but if we don't have a
solid, demonstrated need for it, we stand to have much less than the typical
35% of dues credited to our account in 2010. We have some fairly tight
deadlines coming up and will need to make some decisions before our next
regularly scheduled call. Dec 7th the LegalXML MS SC will have another conference call
to approve a budget request Dec 10th deadline to get budget to OASIS If you have any ideas about what our TC should be doing in
the next year (that cost money) please get them to me ASAP, Wednesday at the
latest. I will facilitate this process as best I can, but I don't
have the time or background to do much more than that. Here are the ideas that I'm aware of so far:
The presentations and webinar would take significant TC
member time to make happen. Is anyone willing to step forward to produce
the content? Thanks, Eric |
