OASIS is proud to announce Monica Palmirani
and Patrick Durusau have been named Distinguished
Contributors to OASIS.
Distinguished Contributors are recognized for
their Introduction of new work, influence and
visibility in the industry, ability to build
consensus, leadership and service.Their
participation substantially raises the quality and
breadth of OASIS technical work.
Monica has been a significant contributor to the
LegalXML community since 2010. Her leadership in the
Member Section Steering Committee, LegalDoc ML and
LegalCiteM Technical Committees has been a significant
part of these groups' success. These activities,
helped bring Akoma Ntoso (a globally respected project
with origins in Africa) to OASIS and attracted many
new members from industries, countries and regions not
frequently active in the standards space.
Patrick's service to OASIS is at two levels. As a
TC member and co-chair he has been influential in a
variety of TCs but most noteworthy the Office TC and
several of its Subcommittees. The resulting
specifications have enabled a new industry of
productivity tools now in use around the globe.
Patrick was a significant force in the work to prepare
the OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications
Standard for submission and ultimate acceptance as
ISO/IEC 26300. Patrick's influence extends outside his
TC work. His review and submission of over 650
comments in 30 Public Reviews reflects an exemplar
dedication to specification quality.
Please join me in congratulating this year's
recipients,
Scott...
