TimeZone Warning! -- OASIS DITA Translation Subcommittee Agenda -- 29 October 2007

["JoAnn Hackos" <joann.hackos@comtech-serv.com>]

Dear Friends,

I feel compelled to scheule another meeting so that we can get a final vote of the subcommittee on the Conref Best Practice and the Acronym Proposal. We want to present the Acronym Proposal to the Technical Committee as soon as possible. Please try to attend the meeting tomorrow.

 

Now for the confusing part. The US has not changed clocks back to standard time yet. Europe changed today, Sunday. We are now 6 and 7 hours behind the UK and Central Europe (providing you have all changed as well). Please check one of the time zone programs on the web to be certain. Rodolfo, I have no idea what time it will be in China.

 

11 am Eastern/10 am Central/9 am Mountain/ 4 pm UK/ 5 pm Central Europe  (I think this is correct).

 

Synchronize your clocks please!

 

Please find the agenda on the Subcommittee wiki

Minutes from 22 October

I have updated the Conref with Robert's corrections to the syntax in the examples. I have also rerun the TOC so that it matches the document. I was using the one from the earlier Best Practice inadvertently.

 

Gershon has the Multilanguage BP to fix the examples and put them in context. I hope he can get to that as soon as possible.

 

Andrzej is updating the wiki and, I hope, using the template. If not, I'll put the new version of the acronym proposal into the official template.
