Subject: OASIS Security Symposium strawman proposal
Before the details get crowded out of my ever-filling head, thought I'd better get this down on paper. Here's my strawman: ---------------------------------------- GOAL ---- To put together regional symposiums that focus on security - with an emphasis on the use of PKI technology - to meet business objectives such as regulatory compliance, confidentiality, integrity, etc. TARGET AUDIENCE --------------- Software developers IT Architects IT Managers Security professionals IT Auditors DURATION -------- Ideally, just one day, but can be stretched to two if theres a real need, in the Fall of 2005. LOCATION -------- Silicon Valley (Knowledge pushed out here will permeate throughout the industry as products start using the capabilities) COST ---- Should be no more than US $50 - $100 for OASIS members; $100-$150 for non-members. WHY SHOULD WE DO THIS? --------------------- Annual conferences are usually convenient for just a small group of people. With the number of conferences these days, it becomes very hard to target the ones you want to attend. Regional symposiums that are very focused, short, and reasonably priced will provide significant value to OASIS members, while promoting the goals of the PKI TC (the use of PKI to solve the world's problems ;-). Secondly, OASIS (and other like organizations - W3C, IETF) have so many standards in this area, it is becoming horrendous to keep track of what is alive, what's dead, what products support which standards and how does one use them? This symposium should spend some time sorting out the alphabet soup of standards, showing their current status, which products and tools use them, and how do they fit together to solve specific business problems (see GOAL). It might even be feasible to have a vendor-expo that showcases the tools and products that showcase the standards and their usefulness in the real-world. This can also help defray some of the costs of putting this symposium together. ---------------------------------------- OK, everybody. Have at it! Lets add, subtract and modify these and see if we can get a proposal to the SC and get it approved. After that, we can figure out the implementation team. Thanks all, for your patience, this morning. After what I've been through in the last 6 weeks in the AG SC, I believe the lack of information is a primary barrier to adoption. Hopefully, things like this can correct that.
