~NEW EVENT SPONSORS

~OASIS TECHNICAL COMMITTEE MEETINGS

OASIS thanks the following Technical Committees for supporting the
Symposium by holding a committee meeting in conjunction with the event.
We are hoping this will be a beneficial collaboration full of networking
and communication not only for the TC, but between TCs.  A complete

Special Note:  OASIS TC Lightning Rounds will precede the OASIS AGM on
Tuesday evening. All OASIS TCs have been invited to participate by
providing a representative who will deliver a presentation on the
current status of the Technical Committee's work. It promises to be a
great opportunity to educate our members on the accomplishments, status
of related work, and support of our OASIS Technical Committees. 

~BOOK TABLE 

There is a growing body of books that feature technical and
executive-level information on OASIS Standards and specifications. The
Symposium Book Table will showcase these books at a display in the
registration area. This is not a book sale, but an opportunity to give
attendees a first-hand look at the range of available titles. A handout
listing all books, including information on purchasing options, will be
provided. Books will be on display for two days during the Symposium and
raffled off to attendees at the reception following the AGM.  Authors,
publishers, or collectors interested in donating books should contact
events@oasis-open.org by 31 March.
