Subject: [chairs] Kavi status update
Chairs: Here's an update on the status of the Kavi system implementation. I had mentioned previously (http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/chairs/200212/msg00000.html) that OASIS was considering this system, and invited you to attend an orientation session that we conducted in Baltimore at the XML 2002 conference. At that session a representative from Kavi gave a presentation on the Kavi system functionality, and we got some good feedback from those present that we will use to enhance the system to make it easier for TC chairs to perform their duties. OASIS and Kavi are now starting the implementation of this system. Kavi is beginning to install software on OASIS servers, and the development of the OASIS TC Process specific functionality is well under way. While we don't have a detailed schedule completed, we anticipate that launch of the system will occur by early March. A short time before that date we will require the assistance of the TC chairs in entering TC-specific information into the system. In particular, once OASIS staff has entered in the names of all OASIS members, we will need to the TC chairs to specify who the members of the TC are. This implies, of course, that you know who the members of your TC are, so I'd like to ask that you give this matter a little extra attention over the coming weeks so that when the time comes you have a complete, accurate list. We will also need the TC chairs or secretaries to enter other TC information such as meeting schedules, current charter, etc. Kavi will be providing us with training materials specific to the TC chairs and secretaries, which we will be passing on to you. The training will include online documentation, a web-based training session, and possibly a f2f training session. It has been suggested that the XML Web Services conference in Santa Clara the week of 3 March might be a good venue for OASIS and Kavi to conduct a f2f training session as OASIS already has a number of activities scheduled that week. If there are sufficient numbers of TC chairs and/or secretaries available that week then we'll set this up. Please let me know if you or one of the other officers of your TC would be able to attend that week, and which day(s) would be best for you. One other related note: In the next week or so OASIS will be sending out an RFP to its members for the development of a registry to store TC status information, specifications, and glossary entries. The purpose of this registry is to promote collaboration between our various TCs and also eventually between our TCs and the TCs and WGs or other organizations through the sharing of information. This registry will be separate from the Kavi system but linked with the Kavi system so that TC status information and documents only need to be entered in a single location. -Karl ================================================================= Karl F.
