Subject:	[members] Eberlein, Ferris, Hagen newest OASIS Distinguished Contributors

We are pleased to name Kristen Eberlein, Christopher Ferris, and Stefan Hagen as our newest OASIS Distinguished Contributors. This lifetime achievement award is given to members who provide outstanding service and contributions to the OASIS community and our mission.

Kristen Eberlein, DITA TC chair, has been a vital participant and leader in the community for over a decade. She led the TC through several complex releases of the DITA standard and championed initiatives such as Lightweight DITA and the DITA User Listening Sessions. Her experience as a technologist and an implementer makes her a compelling evangelist for OASIS and the DITA community.    

Chris Ferris has been at the forefront of new technology and a strong advocate for ensuring OASIS continues to attract relevant, quality projects. From the early days of ebXML and Web services, Chris has been at the center of the most defining standards produced by OASIS. He was instrumental in the development of our new Open Projects program and now serves as a member of the Open Projects Advisory Council. 

Stefan Hagen has been a co-chair, editor, TC secretary, and contributor to a wide range of TCs. ebXML Registry, DSS, DSS-X, OData, AMQP Bindmap and SARIF are among the Committee Specifications and Standards (some having advanced to ISO-IEC JTC-1 endorsement) that benefited from his focused work, procedural expertise, good humor, and leadership. Stefan has also served on the OASIS Technical Advisory Board, where he contributed to the OASIS Editor's Manual, the Vulnerability Disclosure white paper, and the TAB Standards and Specifications metadata spreadsheet.

These Distinguished Contributors join their peers in the OASIS Hall of Fame https://www.oasis-open.org/member-roster/distinguished-contributors and are eligible for the benefits of this honor, including our unending gratitude for their hard work and leadership.

Scott...
