Subject: Important: New draft and possible Public Review for oBIX
- From: "Considine, Toby \(Facilities Technology Office\)" <Toby.Considine@unc.edu>
- To: <oBIX@lists.oasis-open.org>
- Date: Sat, 22 Apr 2006 09:11:01 -0400
A new draft, the
oddly numbered v0.11 has been posted by Bran Franks. Early reads from the XML
committee suggest that they think this might be the one we take to formal public
review.
Public review
includes a 60 day freeze on changes, so if you have been just dying to make a
suggestion, but didn't have time, please make it now. Download it. Read it.
Consider whether you would willing/able to implements it. If not, why not, and
submit it.
Absent some
surprising changes, we will be discussing this draft at the Face2-to-Face on May
3rd at the close of the Niagara Summit (http://www.niagarasummit.com/).
Following that meeting, we will, if there are no surprises, there will be a
formal vote on releasing this for Public review. This is an important meeting,
please schedule to be there, is person or telephonically. The call-in
information will be posted before then.
(Meeting Organizers:
Contact Co-Chair Paul Ehrlich for any changes/releases, etc. Starting Monday, I
am going cold-turkey on the internet and telephone for the first time in a
decade as I am out of the country. It will be early May before I respond to
anything)
On May 9-12 I will
be at the Oasis conference in San Francisco, where I hope to be sharing the
public review document and selling a few more eyeballs on giving us comments.
Please let me know if you will be there.
The following
week,
we will have a public Face-2-Face at at BuilConn/Gridwise/M2M (http://www.builconn.com) on May 16th where I
hope we can have a walk-though of the spec for non-members (any volunteers?).
There will also be an XML scrum there where various individuals will
demonstrate XML-based interactions between their systems. Interested
participants to be should contact Tim Huneycutt. oBIX is already well
represented in the participants.
With this
flurry of activity, it would be a good time for you to publish that article that
you've been just dying to write, whether on AutomatedBuildings.com, or
elsewhere. Please remember, if you are representing any official oBIX or Oasis
news, you should share the article with OASIS Director of Communications Carol
Geyer (carol.geyer@oasis-open.org) both
pre-publication, to make sure that what you are saying does not violate any
OASIS policies or standards, and post-publication, to make sure the
article gets proper publicity. Carol's suggestions have proved most helpful and
her turn-around very fast, so do not let this hinder you from
writing.
Later in the
Summer, as we are coming to the end of the Public Review, Paul Ehrlich has been
working on a series of public discussions surrounding "Real Estate Week" in
Dallas, June 24-27. This run of collocated events includes
RealComm / BOMA / CABA Intelligent Building Leadership
Forum. http://www.realcomm.com/ http://www.caba.org/leadersforum/
This is exciting as it will be the first real customer-oriented forum for oBIX.
We are looking at a possible public demonstration (or OASIS Interop) as
part of the CABA or RealComm program. We would use this as a point to
showcase progress and pick up press coverage. Again, if you can help, or want to
participate, contact Paul (paul@buildingintelligencegroup.com)
