RE: [wss] OASIS WSS Interop at Gartner

["Dee Schur" <dee.schur@oasis-open.org>]

Hi,
You are correct, we have opportunities at both and we will do InterOps at
both. I had mentioned the Gartner event to your TC chairs first, so I
thought it would be most appropriate to explore this venue first. Do you
prefer the XML 2004 venue?
Regards,
Dee

I note that Nov 15-17 is the same timeframe as the XML 2004 Conference,
in Washington, DC (http://www.xmlconference.org/xmlusa/) where OASIS did
interop demos last year.  

What are OASIS's plans for the XML 2004 conference?  Are you planning to
do interop demos at both conferences or is the attached email expressing
a preference for the Gartner conference?
