Guys, this is really shaping up!
        Kudos to Stan for the cat herding and to Tom for the slide
        wrangling; kudos to the slide authors for the good revisions.
        I'm quite pleased.

        

        I think we should plan to use the TC meeting time today for a
        pre-rehearsal:

        
          
Slide owners can present their slides and get feedback
            from TC members.

          
We can discuss the best order for the features.

          
We can discuss whether we are missing anything critical.

          

          
We can discuss what we want to use for opening poll
            questions. So far, the suggestions have been:

          
            
What version of DITA are you using? (1.0, 1.1, 1.2, I
              don't know, Not using DITA -- Just interested)

          
        
        
I'll ensure that we have screen sharing set up for the call.

        

        
Best,

          Kris

 Greetings all -- 

          
   

          
 Here's where we are with regard to our August 7 webinar
            slides: 

          
   

          
 1. Tom Magliery worked some magic with the PowerPoint
            masters and consolidated slides 

          
     from Kris, me, and Robert. 

          
   

          
 2. Robert, Mark, and Chris updated their slides and sent
            them to me. 

          
   

          
 3. I integrated the updated slides into Tom's new master
            slide stack (attached as PPT and PDF). 

          
   

          
     PLEASE ping me if I fat-fingered a copy-paste
            operation on one of your slides.  

          
   

          
 4. I need slides from JoAnn and updates from
              Tom Cihak, Nancy, and Bob.  

          
   

          
 5. As soon as I get them, I'll integrate and
            redistribute the master slide stack.  

          
   

          
 Kris and JoAnn --  I can iterate this way for a while --
            let me know if/when you want me to get out of slide
            consolidation business.

 Greetings -- 

            
   

            
 Most of the webinar slides are now in! I have attached
              a ZIP archive containing all the current PowerPoint
              files.  

            
   

            
 Kris and I looked these over in some detail yesterday
              and today and have some feedback that we'd like to send
              your way (also attached as a text file). Sometimes you
              have to go through an iteration before it starts to become
              clear what seems to work well. 

            
   

            
 If we'd like to the webinar attendees to perceive
              these slides as having come from one group (albeit a
              volunteer distributed one), we do have some work to do and
              probably a couple of iterations. 

            
   

            
 Anyway . . . we're hoping that you'd be able to find
              some time in the next day or so to review the feedback and
              do your best to update your slides. Please send updates to
              both to Kris and to me.  

            
   

            
 Tom Magliery (bless him) is looking at the underlying
              PowerPoint masters for us while we content developers
              update our slides. It's possible that the slide master
              update and the content updates converge on Monday so we
              could have a complete set of slides ready for TC review
              Tuesday some time.  

            
   

            
 Yup -- I know -- another New Englander sniffing too
              many highway repaving fumes. 

            
   

            
 Let's do our best . . . please let  me know how I can
              assist (especially with reviewing feedback comments).  

            
   

            
 Thanx, 

            
 Stan
