Re: [ebsoa] Blurb about ebSOA Work (For Interview)

["David RR Webber" <david@drrw.info>]

Duane,

There's a huge difference between talking to the press and
writing documents for OASIS.

I'm sure Joe would agree - the text below would probably
leave 99% of people outside of our techno-circle
clueless as to what is happening and why they even
care anyway.

Also - remember his readship is GCN - so you have to
say something relevant to G2C, B2G and Agencies,
Home Security, Public Services, and such.

That's why I was suggesting my previous text - to give
people a sense of why ebSOA is important to GCN
readers....and may be relevant to their IT systems
that they work with.

Thanks, DW.
