Thank you Frank!
I know that you are all 6 feet under
trying to get through the IPR transition and Standards processes but I’ll
mention a few topics that I would like to see referenced in one of the webinars
but it will take some noodling.
Now that you have all invested so much
time and effort in this body of work, what are the steps that we must take to
drive traction in the marketplace? This might make your marketing folks happy. The
OASIS staff has taken a hard look at successful standards and we have realized that
our work does not end when the standard is completed. In fact, it is absolutely
imperative that we, if you will, ‘create the market’ for future uptake
that produces implementations and market buy-in. More implementations generate
more ‘fixes’ and eventually a better, more usable standard. The OASIS
staff refers to this model of development as the ‘Standards Lifecycle.’
First, a need is identified, a solution(s) is developed, the completed solution
(standard) becomes widely used (adopted) which creates more need in the marketplace,
right?
Many things drive adoption. Our first step
is the webinars, then some sort of public demonstration, an XML.org Focus Area
(see http://dita.xml.org/), white papers, certification,
etc. Some TCs have created an Adoption TC or SC for this purpose which can involve
TC members but also the marketing people from your company and end users. I
suspect that we will see end users, even on the first webinar, which is great
for the WSBPEL OASIS Standard!
I’d like to see something mentioned
about the future of WSBPEL in the webinars, is this a possibility?
Thanks for allowing me to join you today!
