I agree: The OASIS eGov TC is also looking to do a F2F around this date too,
and there are already a number of other events clustering around...

	Welcome to OASIS News, a weekly update of announcements,

	Mark Your Calendars: OASIS Adoption Forum, London, 17 Oct

	This year, the OASIS Adoption Forum will be held at the Russell
Hotel in London, 17 Oct. All members, as well as the public, are
	encouraged to attend this annual European event, which will explore
open standards issues that profoundly affect government,
	healthcare, and commerce. Chaired by John Borras, CEO of the UK's
Local e-Government Standards Body, the OASIS Adoption Forum will
	deliver insight and updates on work in SOA, Web services, tax,
business process, and localisation. OASIS gratefully acknowledges
	event sponsors, BEA Systems, IBM, Innodata Isogen, SAP, and Sun
Microsystems; their support will provide meeting rooms for TCs on
	18, 19, and 20 Oct. (Space is limited, so TC chairs are advised to
reserve early.) The OASIS Adoption Forum is being held in

	Public Review of CAP v1.1 Ends 15 July

	All interested parties are encouraged to provide comments on the
Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) v1.1 Committee Draft before the
	close of its 60-day public review on 15 July. CAP, developed by the
OASIS Emergency Management TC, enables information exchange to
	advance incident preparedness and response to emergency situations.
Public review from potential users, developers, and stakeholders
	is an important part of the OASIS process to assure interoperability
and quality.

	Presentations from OASIS Open Standards Day Amsterdam Are Now
Available

	Slides used at the OASIS Open Standards Day, held in Amsterdam, 24
May, have been posted online. The programme featured
	presentations on the latest eGovernment projects as well as on XML
for tax-related information. It provided updates on the Web
	Services Business Process Execution Language (WSBPEL), Web Services
Distributed Management (WSDM) OASIS Standard, Web Services
	Resource Framework (WSRF) and Web Services Notification (WSN)
specifications. The Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0 and
	its interaction with the related profile adapters in eXtensible
Access Control Markup Language (XACML) and WS-Security were also
	explored, as was the Product Life Cycle Support (PLCS)
specification. A European Justice System's use of the ebXML Messaging OASIS
	Standard provided perspective on real-world deployment of standards.

	exchange ideas regarding topics of general interest to the OASIS
community. Any OASIS member may post to this list; archives are
	publicly accessible.
