Open Education Day at the OASIS SCA F2F in Palo Alto, 18th September 2007

[Mike Edwards <mike_edwards@uk.ibm.com>]

Folks,

Thanks to everyone who has volunteered
to help out with the education day at the OASIS SCA F2F meeting in
Palo Alto on the 18th September.

Here is my proposed final agenda, following
the feedback over the past week or so, along with names for 
each session.  Where sessions are
shared, you will need to coordinate with your fellow presenters over the
material and the handover points.

Let me know ASAP if you see any problems
or if you're not happy with something.

==================================================================


Presentation Content
==================

Although this is an "education
day" please bear in mind that this is education with the purpose of
helping
folk understand the work that the OASIS
TC's will be doing.  Telling people how to program in SCA is not
the main goal.

Most of the folks attending are already
familiar with SCA to some level - so don't bore them with basic
stuff.

Please DO include items that represent
challenges for the OASIS TCs to tackle.  Obvious ones that come
to mind are the conformance statements
and the test suites.  What will these look like, what approaches
will be taken?

Also please address any new areas of
work that are possible under the TC charters.  As examples, we
have Pub/Sub and Eventing in Assembly,
new Binding types as listed in the Bindings TC charter.

Relationships with other OASIS (&
non-OASIS) work is also worth discussing.

Presentation Format
====================

All presentations must be given using
"vendor neutral" presentation materials.
Please either use an OASIS presentation
template, an OSOA template or something bland out of the
standard formats offered by PowerPoint
or OpenOffice.


Demo Format
=============

Demos are good things and will help
liven things up.  However, they have the potential to distract
attention from the main purpose of the
day.

We need to be fairly strict about timekeeping
- the schedule allows for 10 minutes for each demo.
This is tight, but my suggestion is
to focus the demo - concentrate on a few specific aspects relating
to SCA and the talks - don't attempt
to demo the whole of the runtime you're using.  This isn't meant
as a showcase for products or for open
source projects.  The aim is to make the SCA specs seem
more real and to show that there are
already some good implementations in the world.

I've tried to indicate which areas each
demo should aim to focus on.  Again, don't waste time on basics.



Yours,  Mike.
