RE: POC Press event Ideas

[Philippe DeSmedt <PDeSmedt@viquity.com>]

Krishna,

I believe we should push for 25-30 minutes. Regardless of how much (little)
time we get, we have to make sure that none of the Tokyo participants are
excluded from the demo. At the very least, they all have to be mentioned in
a useful context (i.e., more than just mentioned on a summary slide). I
understand the time limitations of a press event, but all of us have put
considerable time and energy into this. When we first talked about a press
event, I expressed my concern about equitably and fairly representing all
participants, and I'd like to reiterate it here. With all due respect for
the time limitations that we're operating under, let's at least aim for
Track 1 and then either Track 2 (GCI) or Track 3 (AIAG), as you suggest. 20
minutes for the former and 10 minutes for the latter should be doable. 

Thanks.

-Philippe

Hi all,

	We have a challenge with regard to the press event demo. As of now,
we have
15-20 minutes to do the demo ! I am pushing for 25-30 min - which is a
stretch. There is no way we can do the full Tokyo demo !

	Marketing was/is planning to do only the TPA formation which means
all
other tracks are off ! My counter idea is to trim Track 1 to a decent size
and then add one more track (5-10 min !) and see if we can include all
participants ! Which means either the marketplace scenario in Track 2 or the
Track 3.

	cheers

	Here is the general timings for the Tokyo demo:

	Start :	3:00
	T1 End :	3:40
	T2 End :	4:10
	T3 End :	4:25

Krishna,

IPNet is planning to participate. I was under the assumption that
we would use the same demo that was done in Tokyo. Has the plan changed?

If NetFish or IBM participate then we should be all set.

Do you if NetFish or IBM will participate?


Thanks
Hatem

Hi,

	Thanks. From what I know, the GCI Vs AIAG depends on the
participants
(marketing is neutral on this) - IBM and IPnet. And we need to include our
esteemed contemporary Philippe which means a hub in the setup ;-)

	I like the CGI Marketplace scenario better, but then how would we
include
IBM and IPNet ?

	cheers

Krishna,

Thanks for the suggestions. From what I heard through a colleague who was on
the ebXML marketing team's conference call this morning, they're leaning
towards showing the GCI scenario versus the AIAG scenario (marketing folks:
please correct me if I'm wrong). As far as Viquity is concerned, we can play
in either scenario. I'll leave it up to IBM and IPNet (with input, of
course, from anyone who has an opinion either way) to decide which one to
show. Other than that, the proposal appears to provide a pretty good balance
of participants as well as of areas of ebXML to cover in this event.

-Philippe

Hi all,

	Here is a preliminary POC plan for the press event. Please think
thru and
see if this is workable, fair and includes everybody who wants to
participate.


	Start with Nick's POC slides (Nick)
	Go to the Architecture slide upto the point where the three
transparent
boxes appear showing the design, configuration and run time. (Mark)

	Go directly to the TPA track - intro slide (Krishna)
	TPA track sequence diagram (Krishna)
	TPA Track topology
		Farrukh's GUI (Farrukh)
			Shows interoperable registry by Sun, XMLs and
Sterling
		Mark's GUI (Mark) showing TPA formation
		Fujitsu-Netfish (showing TPA Proposal) (Iwasa,Sanjay)

		*********** Question : Do we have NetFish and Fujitsu
participation to
show this ?

	Introduce AIAG track (Sid)
	AIAG Track - Marketplace example

		IPNet - Viquity - IBM

		*********** Question : Does this make sense ? Can
IPnet/Viquity/IBM work
this out Or

				Should we do the GCI track with
IPNet-Viquity-IBM ?

	end of demo

		*********** Did we leave out anybody ?

	My approximation is this will take about 25 minutes.

	Ed/Susy/Steve,

	We need 20-25 minutes to show the breadth of vendor participation. I
think
it is Ok as we need to show that this is real and many companies *have*
stuff working across their products.

	If we have three screens as follows it would be good:

	#1 projector with 4 or 8 monitor switch to show buyer side
	#2 projector with 4 or 8 monitor switch to show seller/supplier side
	#3 projector tied to one computer to show the slides

	In Tokyo, we had two projectors and used one for the slides. So we
switched
between the buyer/seller with one projector


	cheers
