DITA Adoption Committee Forms

All interested parties are invited to participate in the new OASIS DITA Adoption Committee, which will work to educate the marketplace on the value of the DITA OASIS Standard for document creation and management. By raising awareness of the benefits offered by DITA, the Committee expects the demand for DITA-conforming products and services to increase, resulting in a greater choice of tools and platforms and an expanded DITA community. Proposers include representatives of OASIS Foundational Sponsors, IBM and Oracle, as well as Sponsor member, Comtech, and others. JoAnn Hackos of Comtech serves as convenor; a Committee chair will be elected at the first meeting, which will be held by teleconference on 28 Jul.
