Hi TC,

As mentioned during the TC monthly calls yesterday, the ballot for the STIX 2.1 Interop document is closing (click here to vote – shameless plug). Speaking about plugs, we also polled the TC for interest in participating in a Plugfest. Please read the information below to get a general understanding about plugfests and reply back to this thread if you’re interested in participating!

What’s a PlugFest:

A plugfest is an event for participants to test interoperability of products or tools. It could be literally plugging company A's cable into company B's socket, or a more elaborate test resembling a scenario set.

The technical goal is twofold:

1. Check compliance to the standard

2. Test the effectiveness of the standard

Benefits:

Besides helping vendors improve their interoperability, plugfests help create awareness about the standard and can improve transparency on compliance.

Thanks,

-Marlon
