Subject: FW: [members] OASIS News--3 June 2005
Harm Jan: Here's our opportunity to have a F2F meeting, as we discussed on the informal conference call two weeks back. I don't know whether you need a formal decision of the TC to agree to this: in the absence of a telconf call in the coming weeks, it might be useful to use the OASIS ballot functions on the KAVI system to at leats get an informal feedback from TC members, to see a) if there is support; and b) how many might come... -Peter -----Original Message----- From: Carol Geyer [mailto:carol.geyer@oasis-open.org] Sent: 03 June 2005 20:27 To: news@lists.oasis-open.org; members@lists.oasis-open.org Cc: 'Scott McGrath' Subject: [members] OASIS News--3 June 2005 OASIS News 3 June 2005 Welcome to OASIS News, a weekly update of announcements, accomplishments, and activities for the international standards consortium. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Your Calendars: OASIS Adoption Forum, London, 17 Oct This year, the OASIS Adoption Forum will be held at the Russell Hotel in London, 17 Oct.
