Hi Diane,
I hope I didn’t drop the ball on the
Webinars. I know that you are very busy now. With the added Workshop at the
Symposium, I think this will be a very busy spring for this group. Can we
squeeze the webinars in before the Symposium? Is this the same set of folks? Maybe
there exists some reuse of materials for both.
It is a great idea to set two different
webinars. I am working with a group of ebXML TCs and they made a good
recommendation that I’d like to share. They are proposing two sessions
for each TC, one Euro-Asia friendly time zone and one US friendly time zone.
Let me know if I can help!
Best,
Dee Schur

Webinar abstract
Hi Dee,
Please
give us another week to finalize this abstract. We are going to review
this with the full TC, and also discuss with two other volunteer presenters on
our next call. We also want to plan another webinar that would be
directed more to users of BPEL - a business analyst or CIO audience, that would
talk about the business problems BPEL can solve, how it fits in a overall BPM
solution, etc. We'd like to hold them both in the same timeframe directed
at different people, rather than sequencing them.
We've
also started discussing the other possibilities you've brought up and there is
interest in some. Given workload to get through approval, we're
prioritizing these behind the webinars. I would advise against attempting
to discuss the future of BPEL at this point of time under the auspices of OASIS
or the TC. While there are many possibilities, anything said at this
point in time would be strictly individual opinions, not the sense of the TC. Discussions
in the context of an event where the TC is the "speaker" could be
misinterpreted. I think at this time the TC should focus on how to best
use what we have rather than pointing to what else could be done and
conjecturing on how those additional requirements should be addressed, I'm
sure those discussions will occur in other venues.
Regards,
Diane
