Hello UBL developers,

Here are some recent UBL news items you may find interesting.

 - A UBL German Localization Subcommittee has been formed:

   http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/sc_home.php?wg_abbrev=ubl-delsc

   The DELSC joins already existing Chinese, Danish, Italian,
   Japanese, Korean, and Spanish UBL Localization Subcommittees.
   Qualified German-speaking business experts interested in
   creating the German version of the UBL Data Dictionary should
   contact the chair, Karsten Tolle:

      karsten.tolle at documentengineeringservices.com

 - Complete Japanese, Italian, Spanish, Danish, and Slovak
   translations of the 1900+ definitions in the UBL 2.0 Data
   Dictionary are now being updated to reflect changes in the
   recently released UBL 2.0 Update Package.  We're still working
   on obtaining support for upgrading the Chinese and Korean UBL
   1.0 translations to 2.0.  Versions of the 1.0 Data Dictionary
   in Hungarian, Lithuanian, and Turkish also exist, but so far we
   don't have LSCs to take responsibility for upgrading them to
   2.0.  Anyone interested in forming OASIS UBL LSCs to perform
   this work should contact me (jon.bosak at sun.com).

 - The UBL Event Calendar and the materials formerly linked from
   the UBL Support Page have been relocated to the new UBL Online
   Community at ubl.xml.org, which is now your "one stop shop" for
   everything relating to UBL.  This list, ubl-dev, will continue
   as the free public forum for discussion of UBL.
