Re: [dita] OASIS press release on DITA XML.org relaunch

I said that? I am sure I said it well. 😉

I am fine with this copy, though I think it would also be a good idea to mention the new online forum as well. Perhaps tack the following on to the end of my quote: "And we hope our new online forum will spur discussion about all things DITA within the user community."

I have passed this along to my contacts at Congility, who will hopefully come back soon. They are based in the U.K. so I wouldn't expect to hear from them today.

I will also pass this along to my VP at IXIASOFT and see if I can get a quotable quote from him as well.

Cheers!

At last! OASIS plans to announce the relaunch of the DITA XML.org website on 23 April in conjunction with the DITA North America 2018 conference. The relaunch presents an exciting opportunity for members to sponsor the new site and be featured in its promotion to the community.

DITA XML.org sponsorship costs $6,000 per year and is open to any OASIS Foundational or Sponsor member. Site sponsors receive:

1) linked logos on every page on the website

2) a sponsored content area on every page on the website, where you can showcase info on your company's DITA webinars, white papers, or other DITA-relevant materials. (You can change out content here as often as you like.)

3) featured placement and company quotes in the OASIS launch press release, which will be distributed at the conference.

4) promotion in the OASIS announcement email to 9,000+ registered site users

The new DITA XML.org site is set to generate a surge of traffic and bring many more views for site sponsors. Become a site sponsor by 20 April to have your company recognized as a major supporter of the DITA community.

Prior to launch, the new site is viewable at: https://dxo.ditaweb.com/.

Contact me by 18 April for more details.

Regards,
Carol

P.S. Congratulations to all the members who worked so long and hard on the new site!
