Subject: Open Composite Services Architecture Member Section Launches
We are pleased to announce formation of the OASIS Open Composite Services Architecture (Open CSA) Member Section. This new group within OASIS will work to advance open standards that simplify SOA application development. Open CSA will oversee several new OASIS TCs that will be chartered to promote the further development and adoption of the Service Component Architecture (SCA) and Service Data Objects (SDO) families of specifications. SCA helps organizations more easily design and transform IT assets into reusable services that can be rapidly assembled to meet changing business requirements. SDO lets application programmers uniformly access and manipulate data from heterogeneous sources, including relational databases, XML data sources, Web services, and enterprise information systems. Initial versions of these specifications will be contributed by the Open SOA Collaboration. Charters for these new TCs will be available for member comment in the coming weeks. OASIS Members may designate affiliation with Open CSA by having have their Primary Representative notify member-services@oasis-open.org. There is no additional cost to affiliate with Open CSA and no dues allocations will be made for this Member Section. Organizations that affiliate with Open CSA will be eligible to vote for the Member Section Steering Committee and will be recognized on the Member Section web site. The Open CSA Member Section Steering Committee will consist of seven members. Initially, four seats will be filled by representatives from BEA Systems, IBM, Oracle, and SAP, each of whom will serve a term of two years. Elections will be held to fill the three remaining seats. To ensure consistency of management, those elected to these three seats initially will serve one year terms with subsequent election for terms of two years. Steering Committee nominations will be accepted 11 April 2007 through 25 April 2007. The nomination process is detailed at http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/opencsa-ms/200703/msg00000.html More information on Open CSA can be found at the Member Section web site (currently under construction) at http://www.oasis-opencsa.org/ The Open SCA Rules of Procedure can be found at http://www.oasis-opencsa.org/RoP Please contact me directly with any questions or concerns.
