Subject: Recruitment letter draft


Note: Following is a modified version of the DocBook TC recruitment letter. I'd like to add a list of our focus areas, based on Doug's action item to provide the verbiage. For now, please review this draft and provide comments:

 

The DITA Learning and Training Content Specialization SC is looking for new members.

The DITA Learning specialization provides support for developing educational content that meets diverse needs of education professionals.

The DITA Learning and Training Content Specialization SC  is an official OASIS standards subcommittee of the OASIS DITA TC that develops the schemas for DITA Learning (not the stylesheets or tools). Here is a link to the committee's public page at OASIS:

 https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=dita-learningspec

We at the DITA Learning SC want to ensure that DITA Learning continues to remain vital by adapting to new environments and standards, responding to the changing needs of DITA Learning users, and growing the market for DITA Learning.

Joining the DITA Learning and Training Content Specialization SC  has several advantages for your company or organization:

-          Increase the visibility of your company in standards development.

-          Influence the DITA Learning standard to include the features or extensions your company needs.

-          Improve interoperability with other standards you use.


Joining also has these advantages for participating individuals:

-          Gain experience in specification and standards development.

-          Increase your visibility and credibility within your company.

-          Work with experts in markup languages.


The time commitment for members is not burdensome.  We meet every other week for an hour by teleconference, and perform various action items for research and development between meetings.  Because DITA Learning is a mature standard, we are mostly adding features, fixing bugs and researching related standards.  We respond to all Requests for Enhancement that are submitted.

To be an effective member of the SC, you will want to have experience with XML and DITA Learning, the more the better.

To join the DITA Learning SC, membership in OASIS is required. That can come in the form of a company membership or an individual membership.  If your company is a member of OASIS, it can designate employees to serve on OASIS committees.  If not, an individual can join and pay the annual dues of $335. 

 

Please forward this message to people who you think might be interested that are not on the mailing list.

 

Thanks and best regards,

 

--Scott
