To JoAnn and everyone involved with these webinars ...

Unfortunately I won't be around to watch them.

I do hope they go well!

All the best,

> 2.                  ‘DITA to XLIFF and Back - Understanding the  
> Technical Solution.'  The OASIS DITA Standard promotes semantically  
> tagged XML topics. Individual XML topics can be translated once and  
> used in multiple deliverables. XLIFF translates XML topics early in  
> the product-development life cycle to facilitate simultaneous  
> shipping of products in multiple languages. OASIS XLIFF provides a  
> mechanism to reduce costs and eliminate risk by packaging DITA files  
> to translation and localization providers that is easier and less  
> costly to manage. A real world enterprise ‘end-to-end’  
> implementation will be demonstrated. Date and time: Tuesday, 23
