3. Plenary Week Planning

- We confirmed that we accept Sanjay's offer of SAP hosting the Plenary
Week at their Palo Alto location.
Laptop presentation facilities are provided; Wireless
connectivity is available. There will be no dial-in capability on the Open
day one, but will be available for the TC meetings, with conference facilities
offered by Oracle & Red Hat (and other SC members). Slides for the
Open Day will be available on the OASIS site, however, and will be added
into the Presentations Repository being formed.
- Dee confirmed that OASIS can set up and manage a
Registration Process. A fee of $100 was agreed in order to cover meal and
other costs. When Sanjay confirms address, Dee will advertize in the most
appropriate OASIS channels. Graham will advertize on OSOA also.
- Other advertizing vehicles will be investigated
including IBM developerWorks (Graham), InfoQ (Mark), XMLDev (Dee), ServerSide
& JavaLobby (Mike Edwards).
- Mike Edwards has volunteered to organize the agenda
for the first (open) day; David Burke offered assistance.

4. TC Participation Status

- With the First Seven Day Deadline under 2 weeks
away, Graham Barber again expressed concern on slow TC membership take-up.
The Assembly TC has less than 10 companies enrolled; the C-C++ TC has one
company enrolled.
- Graham will request that the Conveners start some
lobbying existing OSOA personnel;
- Graham & Dee will work on broader involvement.

5. Work Plan Review 

- Carried forward to a future meeting.

on MS
