Diane,

if you and the TC think that it's appropriate I will be happy to participate

Participants in today's call:  John Evdemon, Charlton Barreto, Khanderao
Kand, Chris Keller, Dieter Koenig, Allen Brookes, Frank Ryan, Simon Moser,
Mark Ford, Wu Chou.

Primer update:  Charlton, Simon and Dieter are still working on adding
material to the draft primer.  Following that, the team will need
to work
on an overall editing pass and may want to add more sections.  Once
that's
complete, we'll need to allow for at least a couple weeks for review by
the
TC before its made public.  It doesn't appear likely that the work
will be
able to complete before March.   We'll need to watch the calendar
carefully
relative to the April deadline to transition to a new IPR policy or close
the TC.

Webinar update:  No major changes were made to the proposal to have
two
webinars.  I've asked Dee Schur if this would be possible but haven't
heard
back as yet.  We went ahead and made plans to finalize the abstracts
for TC
review by next meeting on Jan 24.
For the  "What is BPEL" topic:  Dieter, Charlton and
Frank expressed
interest in participating in the webinar.  Frank volunteered to flesh
out
the abstract.  Dieter has sent a presentation deck that may be used
as a
starting point.
For the "How to use BPEL" topic: John and Chris expressed interest
in
participating and John volunteered to flesh out the abstract.  John
is
working on a deck that may be used as a starting point.
We'll review these abstracts with the full TC at the Jan 24 meeting and
if
ok, will send to Dee for webinar planning and invitation prep.  Others
may
still volunteer to speak but if there are more than 3 volunteers per topic,
we'll some sort of selection process to not exceed the recommended max
of 3
speakers.

We also had some discussion on the possibility of arranging a demo.  The
main question is whether there are enough companies interested in doing
this to make it worthwhile.  It was proposed that the focus should
be on
various engines executing the same process rather than trying to show
interop since the interop is provided by virtue of web services not BPEL
itself.  I'll start an email thread asking for interested parties
for such
a demo.

John has looked at the "xxx.xml.org" sample sites that Dee suggested
as
examples of what we could do for BPEL and noted that they seem to have
ongoing maintenance and updates to keep them current.  We deferred
consideration of this topic to a later timeframe.
