I'd like to announce the agenda for the Tuesday - Feb 24 PWG Plenary in San Jose... as there are several new topics and participants who will be presenting. While there may be some minor changes, the tentative agenda is as follows Tuesday Feb 24 - Doubletree - San Jose 8:30-10am - PWG Working group status 10-1pm - Secure Print Protocols - addressing traditional environments 1pm - 2pm - Lunch 2-5pm DMTF CIM and PWG Semantics The Secure Print Protocol discussion will be lead by David Staal, Barr Systems, Inc, a new PWG member company. David is aware that IPP specifies TLS and would like to broaden the discussion to include methods for securing environments where IPP adoption has been slow. The goal is to determine if multiple vendors view this as an area that would benefit from standardization. The DMTF CIM discussion will be lead by a guest speaker, Steve Jerman, HP-Boise. Steve is Chairman of the DMTF System and Devices Working Group and has recently collaborated on semantics with the Storage Networking Industry Association. The goal of our meeting is to raise awareness of similar DMTF and PWG activities (such as Web Based Management and Monitoring), identify overlap between DMTF CIM and PWG Semantic Models and discuss mechanisms for harmonizing our activities in these areas.   If you plan to attend the PWG Plenary or any of the PWG meetings the week of Feb 23, and have not yet made your reservations with the Doubletree or registered with the ISTO please do so as soon as possible. <a href=http://www.pwg.org/chair/SanJose2004.html>http://www.pwg.org/chair/SanJose2004.html</a> ---------------------------------------------- Harry Lewis Chairman - IEEE-ISTO Printer Working Group http://www.pwg.org IBM Printing Systems http://www.ibm.com/printers 303-924-5337 ----------------------------------------------
