Re: [dita] Kris Eberlein named OASIS Distinguished Contributor

[Eliot Kimber <ekimber@contrext.com>]

Kris' dedication and determination as Chair and co-editor has been essential to the success of DITA over the last few years and it's only fitting that she be recognized for it. I don't know where we'd be without her leadership.

Cheers,

E.

        Colleagues,
        I was thrilled to learn that DITA TC chair Kris Eberlein has been
          named an OASIS Distinguished Contributor. Kris joins Don Day and
          Michael Priestley as DITA TC members who have received this
          lifetime recognition from OASIS.
        Congratulations, Kris!

                          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.
