Subject: RE: [odf-adoption] Standard "invitation letter" for ODF implementors
Erwin, This is an excellent idea! I might suggest adding something along the lines of "There is no cost to list your product on OpenDocument XML.org", just so they don't think we're trying to sell them something. If I am copied on these messages (carol.geyer@oasis-open.org), I can follow up and be sure the recipients don't have any questions or problems with registering or posting. I can also remind them of the other ways they can promote their work on the site (post press releases, events, links to company white papers, etc.) Carol -----Original Message----- From: Erwin.Tenhumberg@Sun.COM [mailto:Erwin.Tenhumberg@Sun.COM] Sent: Friday, December 07, 2007 7:03 AM To: 'odf-adoption@lists.oasis-open.or' Subject: [odf-adoption] Standard "invitation letter" for ODF implementors Hi all, Over the last few days I noticed a couple of software products to which ODF support had been added in the latest version. Examples are: DataDirect XQuery http://www.datadirect.com/products/xquery/index.ssp deskUNPDF http://www.docudesk.com/deskUNPDF_product_home.shtml EMS SQL Manager for SQL Server http://www.sqlmanager.net/en/products/mssql/manager/features We all know that our opendocument.xml.org site could be more interesting and more up-to-date. During a phone call with Michael Brauer today, he reminded me that all those solutions should be listed on opendocument.xml.org. However, we also both agreed that it's better if the various companies add and maintain the entries themselves. Therefore I'm wondering if we should have some kind of standard invitation letter / email that anyone of us can send to one of those companies as soon as we discover a new application. What do you think? The letter could be something like: To whom it may concern, I am a member of the OpenDocument Format (ODF) Adoption TC at OASIS and I just noticed that your product XYZ supports ODF. Thank you very much for supporting ODF! Your company is joining the growing list of vendors and organizations supporting the ISO and OASIS standard XML document format. In order to help us promote your product and its ODF support I would like to invite you to add an entry for your product to the product listing at http://opendocument.xml.org/products. In case the ODF support in your product is of strategic nature to your company, I also would like to invite you to join the ODF Adoption TC. You can find more information about the ODF Adoption TC at: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=odf-adoption Thank you very much and kind regards, <your name> OASIS OpenDocument Format (ODF) Adoption TC Member Again, what do you think about the idea and the draft letter?
