-----Original Message----- From: George Zagelow [mailto:zage@us.ibm.com] Sent: 04 February 2004 00:36 To: uddi@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: [uddi-promo-discuss] Promotion of UDDI

Greetings to the subscribers to our new discussion list. Let begin by welcoming you to the list, and by providing some background. When UDDI.org brought the early UDDI specifications to OASIS, we were looking for a flexible way to manage the further development of the spec. The OASIS Member Section structure was ideal, as it mapped very closely to the UDDI.org management structure we had in place, and gave us great flexibility in terms of managing as many different work efforts as we might need. The Member Section Steering Committee is now proposing that we do more to leverage the structure and to expand the family of those who have an interest in the success of UDDI. The Spec TC has done a superb job in progressing the spec. But, having a good spec isn't of much value if people don't know about it, or know how to use the technology. To that end, we are hopeful that this discussion list will allow us to zero in on at least one area of common interest, where we can start up a TC to work on some aspect of promoting UDDI. I gave some examples of areas we have discussed at the Steering Committee in the discussion list description:

* UDDI User Experiences * UDDI Best Practices * UDDI User Education * UDDI promotion / evangelism * Usage of UDDI as a component of Web Services

Some of this is pretty easy - pointers to exisiting customer references, or keeping current UDDI product descriptions out on UDDI.org. But, we could also go for a TC specifically focused on what users need. And, invite users to participate directly. We've purposely left the scope very broad, to see where we might get common interest. We'd be delighted to hear your thoughts, or answer any questions you might have. Thanks much.

Regards, George
