All of the above UBL TC members have now been made members of the
Adoption SC, with Jon being made the Secretary in symmetry with other
subcommittees.

There are the following sections in an OASIS focus area:
- knowledgebase - factual listings like a Wikipedia
- the blog roll is for blogs *outside* of the blogs section
- news - timely and transient postings
- events - events related to UBL or closely-related topics
- typically of publicly-subscribed events, but some
privately-subscribed events might be of interest if
the members of the private group visit this site
- products - vendor products for sale to developers and users
- resources - freely available resources for developers and users
- services - services for sale to developers and users
- forums - discussions and questions
- could also include job postings
- blogs - UBL-specific journaling by members
- sponsors - sponsor links cite UBL-related resources
available from the
sponsor's web site, not from the resource pages here
- e.g. white papers
Tentatively I've taken on the "events" section, but I was hoping that
someone else would be able to pick up the responsibility for that
load so that I can focus solely on the site as a whole.
Would all members please post to the list which section they would
like to edit?
Please contribute by volunteering with this task.
Carol Geyer <carol.geyer@oasis-open.org> has offered to help us with
guidance to get this started, as well as to rein us in should it be necessary.
Thanks!
