2010 RSA Security Interops --- Update

["Jane Harnad" <jane.harnad@oasis-open.org>]

Hello Everyone,

Today is the RSA deadline to be included in the main exposition show guide.
We have nine confirmed Interop participants so far, including:  Jericho,
U.S. Veterans Administration, IBM, Microsoft, GSA, Sun Microsystems, HP,
Novell, and SafeNet.   We expect a few additional participants to confirm
soon.  Unfortunately, we do not have enough confirmed participants at this
time to secure our preferred 20'x30' space on the show floor (min of 12 is
needed).  Our plan today is to secure a 10x30 booth space and continue to
work with RSA staff to upgrade as more participants confirm.  (Please note
that time is of the essences though!)  

If your company plans to demonstrate in our showcase area, please forward an
update by COB today.  If you haven't filled out the online form yet, please
do so by the COB today (see below).  We will secure a space today, as well
as forward the initial Interop description for the show guide (also see
below).  

Feel free to forward any questions. 

Kind regards, Jane

Hi Everyone,

BTW:  I thought I would copy the XSPA and KMIP groups - so they also heard
the update...

XSPA, KMIP, and IMI will all hopefully demonstrate in our booth space at
RSA.  We have a 20'x30' space on hold, but RSA is contacting me daily
indicating we won't have it much longer. It's a great space - front of the
show floor (see below link).   With such a large space comes a hefty price
tag & financial risk.  So far we have 6 companies officially signed on to
participate in our security demo area:

IMI - Microsoft, GSA
KMIP - IBM, HP
XSPA - Veterans Administration, Sun, IBM

In order for us to make the down payment on the 20'x30' space - we'll need
to secure at least 6 additional participating companies.  Unfortunately, it
looks like KMIP will not make a final decision until their meeting this
coming Tuesday.  Three or more participating companies hopefully will come
out of that meeting.  XSPA meets today to discuss the demonstration and have
indicated that DoD and another participant may join the demo.  It also looks
like NIH and another company might be joining the IMI demo.  If we're able
to secure all these participants by Tuesday - we might be able to secure
that great space (no promises though).  If not, we'll have to down grade the
size of our space and move to the back of the hall (which didn't seem to
hurt us too much in past years).   Please feel free to check out the booth
space location - and pass around the message about signing up ASAP!   Any
help is greatly appreciated!  Regards, Jane
