    Hi,

    By the way, the link to the final version of DMTF CIM/2.9
    (5 January 2005) is:

            http://www.dmtf.org/standards/cim/cim_schema_v29

    Be sure to pick up the 'ReadMe'. There are ZIPs of the
    PDF (UML) and MOF (Schema) files. Don't bother to pick
    up the large ZIP of the VISIO (UML) files.

    Please send any replies to 'pwg@pwg.org' (as above).

    Cheers,
    - Ira

    Subject: PWG-ANNOUNCE> PWG/DMTF collaboration and Semantic Model call for
    new leader

    Couple things I want to make the broad PWG membership aware of.

    1. PWG and DMTF are discussing how to collaboratively review and update the
    DMTF CIM model based on recent enhancements in the Printer MIB v2, WIMS and
    the PWG Semantic Model.
     
    2. Refreshing the CIM model is a valuable exercise for printer and printer
    management vendors because both WS-Management and Oasis WSDM are capable of
    leveraging CIM.

    3. This work will rely heavily on the updated Printer MIB v2 and the PWG
    Semantic Model (including Counter extensions derived from WIMS).

    4. Pete Zehler, our former champion of the Semantic Model, has encountered a
    job reassignment and has had to relinquish his responsibilities as SM Chair
    and editor.

    I wold like to encourage your participation in one of two (or both) roles

    A. We need someone (or more) to volunteer to Chair and Edit the Semantic
    Model
     
    B. When kicked off, we will need participants in the PWG/DMTF collaborative
    work effort for updating the CIM model for printers.

    THIS IS A CALL FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION! Please let me know if you are
    interested in any of these roles in the near future.
