Subject: Re: DITA 2.0 webinar for vendors
Thanks for reminding me. It's been a crazy week ...
DITA 2.0: A backwards-incompatible release
A series of Webinars for vendors of DITA tools
Tuesdays, 15 June 2021 and 29 June 2021
11 AM - Noon EDT
Join members of the DITA Technical Committee on Tuesday, 15 June 2021 for a look at the contours of DITA 2.0. Because DITA 2.0 is backwards-incompatible, we want to engage vendors and developers of DITA solutions early on. By the day of the Webinar, the grammar files for the release (DTD and RNG) will be complete and locked down. (Editing the specification and going through the standards process is going to take longer, however.)
In this 60-minute session, we'll go over what the release contains, with a special focus on where there are changes that will have an effect on current tools (editors, CCMS, publishing, conversion, content delivery, etc.) Plan to send your product managers and lead architects! The session will be recorded. Then join us again on 29 June 2021 for a question and answer session.
Adding the TC to the e-mail. Folks, do you have any suggestions
or corrections?
Hi Kris,
Checking-in to see if you had a description of the webinar available yet. Please let us know -- as we're eager to get started. Thanks, Jane

Hi, Jane.
Yes, we would like to schedule and set up sign-up links for two DITA TC Webinars, both targeted at vendors who build and support DITA tools. What we'd like to do is have the initial Webinar be an overview of the contours of the release, with a special focus on what will have an impact on vendors, and then the second Webinar to be held two weeks later, to give folks an opportunity to ask questions. We want to go with the following dates:
- Tuesday, 15 June 2021: 11 AM - noon ET
- Tuesday, 29 June 2021: 11 AM - noon ET
Our focus is on vendors because DITA 2.0 is our first non-backwards compatible release. There will be more work for vendors to do, and we want to get them started thinking about it EARLY.
It would be ideal if we could get the sign-up page for the first Webinar set up quickly, as the biggest DITA conference runs this Sunday, 25 April through the following Wednesday, and it would be ideal if we could distribute the sign-up link to vendors throughout the conference. Easy to do, since everything is running (16 hours a day!) through Zoom and Slack.
I could have a description to you by tomorrow ...

Best,
