> 	The OASIS Symposium is an annual event organized by the
> Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards
> (OASIS, www.oasis-open.org).  Everyone is invited (members and
> non-members) to join OASIS in San Francisco to discuss the Meaning of
> Interoperability. This event is where leading experts will be brought
> together to share their understanding and experience on how to make
> e-Government and e-Business work better.  
> 
> 	CALL FOR PROPOSALS
> 
> 	OASIS invites proposals for presentations, panel sessions and
> tutorials on topics related to one or more aspect of interoperability,
> including but not limited to:
> 	
> *	The standards perspective
> *	The business perspective
> *	The semantic perspective
> *	The contractual perspective
> *	The infrastructure and product perspective
> *	The testing perspective
> 
> 	Full details on the different perspectives may be found at:

> 	CALL FOR SPONSORS
> 
> 	Several sponsorship opportunities are available at this year's
> Symposium.  OASIS relies on its event sponsorship to provide funding
> necessary to maintain affordable meeting fees, ensuring the widest
> possible level of participation.  OASIS Event Sponsors also underwrite
> the cost of OASIS Technical Committee meetings, allowing members to
> collaborate face-to-face and Committees to interact with one another.
> We are offering again this year - two types of sponsorship, including
> a Dual Event Sponsorship and an Event Reception Sponsorship.  Details
> including the benefits for each sponsorship package may be found at:
> http://www.oasis-open.org/events/symposium_2006/sponsorship.php. 
> 
> 	If you are able to support OASIS as a Sponsor, please contact
> Peter Roden - peter.roden@oasis-open.org or complete the online OASIS
> Event Sponsorship Request Form -

> 	OTHER EVENTS HAPPENING AT THE SYMPOSIUM
> 
> 	OASIS Technical Committee Meetings
> 	OASIS Technical Committees are invited to hold face-to-face
> meetings in conjunction with the OASIS Symposium. OASIS will provide
> rooms at the hotel on 10, 11, and 12 of May for TC meetings. In order
> to assure availability, TC Chairs must reserve their space as soon as
> possible using the online meeting space reservation form found at:
> http://www.oasis-open.org/events/symposium_2006/tc_meetings.php
> 
> 	OASIS Annual General Member Meeting (AGM)
> 	The OASIS Annual General Member Meeting (AGM) will be held at
> the Symposium. This once-a-year event provides a members-only
> opportunity to review and respond to a state-of-the-union address
> presented by the OASIS Board of Directors. The AGM will be followed by
> an evening reception offering the perfect place to network with OASIS
> members, directors, and staff.  
> 
> 	OASIS TC Lightning Rounds
> 	The OASIS Symposium will again feature an overview of the TCs,
> by the TCs. It promises to be a great opportunity to learn what the
> TCs are accomplishing, find out the status of related work, provide
> input, identify areas for cross-TC communication, and build support.
> Each OASIS Committee will be asked to designate one representative to
> deliver a two-three minute presentation on its work. Slides will be
> compiled and posted on the OASIS site following the event.
> 
> 	Symposium 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 during the
> Symposium and raffled off to attendees at the reception.  Authors,
> publishers, or collectors interested in donating books should contact
> events@oasis-open.org by 10 April 2006.
