Dear TC chairs,
 
I would like to take your input on an idea
floated in today’s OpenCSA Steering Committee meeting - http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/opencsa-ms/201106/msg00001.html.
 
The idea is to develop a primer for the
SCA technology, which would be useful for its understanding and thereby
potentially for its adoption. Given the breadth and the depth of the technology,
I think this will be a non-trivial task. It may be ideal to have the primer
authored by the members of the TC(s). But in the event that the TCs cannot
commit time and effort for this activity, the Steering Committee would
like to explore the option of hiring someone to produce the primer and
get it reviewed by the TCs. There are various different open questions
in this regard such as how much it will cost to produce the primer, how
much budget the member section can realistically claim for this expenditure,
etc. We will try to get answers to these questions in the coming weeks.

 
Meanwhile, I would like to seek your input
on the following questions  –
a>    What do you think about
the idea of producing an SCA primer under the umbrella of OASIS?
b>    Do you think that your
TC may be interested in directly contributing to the primer material? Would
you like to ask the TC?
c>     Would your TC be willing
to work with an external agency for producing and reviewing the material
pertaining to your TC? How do you foresee the dialogue with such an external
agency happening (assuming you and the TC agrees to work with the external
agency)?
d>    What would be the preferred
timeline for undertaking the primer activity?
 
Best wishes,
Sanjay
