Interop Demo Opportunities

Dear TC chairs,

The 
Consortium is making plans now for an exciting fall/winter with some great 
opportunities for OASIS InterOps. These public interoperability demonstrations 
showcase multi-vendor implementations of approved OASIS work. Usually hosted in 
connection with a conference or trade show, OASIS InterOps are official 
Consortium activities, endorsed by one or more OASIS TCs, and mutually supported 
by OASIS staff and OASIS InterOp participants. 

  

Staff will provide 
  assistance in promoting and organizing these events, but the real energy (and 
  scripts) comes from the TC 
  leadership and members.  TC participants demonstrate the usefulness 
  of a spec, and its practical availability across a range of vendor 
  platforms.  

Prior InterOps have generated tremendous 
  energy and strong trade press for the work product.  Public InterOp 
  events are an excellent opportunity to demonstrate real, shippable 
  standards-based solutions for e-business problems.     
  

Several conference organizers are interested in featuring OASIS 
  InterOps, they include: 

  

1) Delphi (4-7 Oct, BPX 2004)
2) OASIS Open Standards Days (4-8 
  Oct.)
3) Gartner (15-17 Nov, Applications Integration and Web Services 
  Summit)
4) 
  IDEAlliance (XML 2004, 16-18 Nov) 
  <http://www.xmlconference.org/xmlusa/>
5) RSA (23-27 Feb) 
  <http://2004.rsaconference.com/us/c4p/>
  

  
If your TC has an approved 
  OASIS Committee Draft or OASIS Standard, or expects to be at that stage prior 
  to these events, we encourage you to consider conducting a multi-member 
  InterOp.  However, in order to make arrangements, we need to hear from 
  you by June 15. If there is another conference at which you'd like to 
  demonstrate, please let us know. We are ready to work with you to coordinate 
  logistics, participation, and promotion.

Clearly, conferences 
  organizers want OASIS InterOps because they recognize the quality of the work 
  of OASIS TCs and the growing market power of open standards. Your diligence 
  and efforts to advance open standards are much appreciated. 
  

Regards,
