OASIS WSS Interop at Gartner

["Dee Schur" <dee.schur@oasis-open.org>]

Hello,

We have been approached with a significant opportunity to increase the
visibility of the work of an OASIS TC. Gartner is holding a conference in
Orlando on 15-17 November,
http://www3.gartner.com/2_events/conferences/apn13.jsp and they have
graciously offered to provide a space for an OASIS InterOp Demo. As some of
you know, these events are very heavily attended and they have agreed to
promote the InterOp as well. We have another opportunity at this event to
present a workshop during a different slot and I would like to see a
cooperative workshop from the TC that would support the InterOp.
There will be some expenses involved and it will be necessary for OASIS to
pass those along to the participants. Since Gartner is providing the venue
(which is the greatest expense), the participant will be responsible for AV,
connectivity (if needed) and some printing costs associated with creating an
invitation which will prominently display all sponsor members logos,
signage, etc. These costs are minimal in comparison to the opportunity to
highlight your efforts. We have had tremendous success with OASIS InterOps
in the past; rest assured this would be favorably reviewed.
I need a reply fairly quickly as I will need to alert another TC if this is
not doable for the WSS TC.

Regards,
Dee Schur
