Yes - I think we do.  I do not know how he feels about having the OASIS
SOA Reference Model TC at his house abusing his wine cellar though (even
though we clearly invited him to the same at our houses ;-0

If we meet in SF, that would leave us time for a quick trip to Napa
either before or after in keeping with the tradition of this TC. 

We require one volunteer to go to the link below and submit for our TC
to meet during the conference.  Since we will need more than one day, I
would suggest we file for multiples.  Perhaps a second place would be
required depending on the workload.

If the specification is final by then (in line with the 12 months of our
charter), I think that an overnight trip to Napa would be in order to
celebrate.

Duane:
Don't we know someone up in Napa ...? And he is an OASIS Board member,
if
not a member of this TC yet. Maybe he could be persuaded!

Napa and Sonoma provide the wine cellars =)  I think they might be even
bigger than Duane's cellar.

As for the face-to-face in SF in May: It's a great time of year there.
Who
is local to provide the barbecue and wine cellar (as per TC
requirement)???

I will book us a meeting space.  Perhaps this is our next F2F?

Maybe we can even present our work as a spec?

Comments anyone?

Duane

OASIS Symposium: The Meaning of Interoperability 

9-12 May 2005
Grand Hyatt San Francisco Hotel
San Francisco, California, USA
http://www.oasis-open.org/events/symposium_2006/

~ CALL FOR PARTICIPATION - DEADLINE 20 DECEMBER 2005 

Interoperability is one of those terms which everyone understands within
their own particular domain of experience or expertise. Consequently,
the
definition of interoperability varies greatly, even within e-Business or
e-Government applications.

The facets of interoperability also differ in importance depending on
whether we look at it from the perspective of a business or government
end-user, of a domain expert in a supply-chain, an application
developer, a
standards committee, or a product manager. Yet, interoperability is
undeniably an end-to-end value proposition; failure to address a single
aspect properly may invalidate or delay an entire deployment, sometimes
casting an unfair discredit on related efforts.

With a primary focus on e-Government and e-Business applications, the
OASIS
Symposium will investigate all the facets of interoperability, their
dependencies, the enabling technologies, standards and practices, and
opportunities for improvement. The event aims to help practitioners and
designers of e-Business or e-Government systems get a broader, more
aligned
understanding of interoperability issues and solutions.

OASIS invites proposals for presentations, panel sessions, and tutorials
on
topics related to one or more aspects of interoperability, including but
not
limited to the:

	*	standards perspective
	*	business perspective
	*	semantic perspective
	*	contractual perspective
	*	infrastructure and product perspective
	*	testing perspective

Additional details may be found on the event web site:
http://www.oasis-open.org/events/symposium_2006/call_for_participation.p
hp.

OASIS also invites tutorials on topics not directly related to the
Symposium
theme.

~ PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS 

OASIS and the Program Committee invite you to submit a proposal for a
presentation, panel session and/or tutorial that offers insights on the
meaning of interoperability. The Program Committee may adapt or
restructure
proposals to ensure an interesting and technically compelling program.

Presentations should be roughly 30-40 minutes in length, including a
question-and-answer period. All presentations will be chaired by a
member of
the Program Committee.

Panel sessions should be roughly 60-75 minutes in length, including a
question and answer period. Proposals for panels should include the
topic,
three to four potential panelists (name and/or role) and proposed format
(e.g. Q&A, short presentations, or both). All panel sessions will be
moderated.

Tutorials should be a half-day format (roughly three hours, including a
break). Tutorial proposals should state the intended audience and
learning
objectives. 

~ TO SUBMIT A PROPOSAL

Please send the following information using the submission Web page:
https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/2006_symposium_presentation_sub/register
_contact.php

	*	Full contact details (name, affiliation, email, phone,
