Proposed DITA 1.3 webinar, jointly sponsored by DITA TC and DITA Adoption TC

[Kristen James Eberlein <kris@eberleinconsulting.com>]

I spoke with JoAnn last week and we came up with a tentative, rough plan for a 60-minutes webinar to be jointly sponsored by DITA TC and DITA Adoption TC. We now need feedback from the DITA TC, and to know if key people can participate on the proposed date.

Date

Thursday, 31 July 2014

Concept

A panel of DITA TC and DITA Adoption TC members, using OASIS-branded slides to provide information about a subset of DITA 1.3 features. Some features -- scoped keys and branch filtering -- will require more time than others. We'll ask each speaker to address similar points to unify the slides, for example:

• What does the feature do?
  
• What value does it add to DITA?
• Use case or scenario that illustrates how the feature works, who might use it, and what value it gives them
  

Possible agenda
