RE: POC Press event Ideas

[Krishna Sankar <ksankar@cisco.com>]

Hi all,

	I had a long conversation with Suzy on POC for the press event. Here are
the facts. (I am just the messenger and so pl do not flamme me ;-))

	1.	This is a marketing event and they want to take 15 minutes (and nothing
more) to show abbreviated Track 1 as a part of the press event. (Which means
very crisp and short version of Track 1)

	2.	As it is a marketing event, more technical demo could have a negative
impact on the message

	3.	We plan to distribute the Tokyo POC video which has all of our POC (How
many folks will take time to watch this is another question ;-0)

	4.	The goal of this event is more marketing exposure rather than technical
exposure

	5.	Continuing on the exposure topic, there are opportunities for the
marketing folks of the companies to have brochures, talk with the press and
similar marketing activities. (Suzy will send an e-mail explaining more of
this) So we should have more marketing representation than technical
representation

	6.	Suzy is trying to see if we can offer a follow-on demo after the Q & A
session; this could be the marketplace scenario of Track 2 or Track 3. But
this is not guaranteed and depends on the interest. This still is not the
full demo and we will need to change the topology and will need changes in
our POC programs, the messages we handle et al.

		My question is do we have the bandwidth to re-topology the POC demo and
work on it (knowing that this is not a sure thing) ?

	7.	Looks like the event will be on the 12th December.

	cheers

Phillipe,

Thanks for replying.

That would work for IPNet. We need to finalize ASAP so that we
can test and so on.

Sig would that work for IBM?

Thanks
Hatem

Hatem,

Thanks for your note. At Tokyo, we had both the GCI and AIAG scenarios. As
some of the participants are no longer there, it looks like we'll have to
settle for one of them. If IPNet and IBM participate, we can certainly show
the AIAG scenario, but we'll need to change it somewhat: at Tokyo, Viquity
played the role of hub in the GCI scenario; if we do away with the GCI
scenario, we'll need to find another place for the Viquity hub. The logical
place would be as a hub between IPNet and IBM. Would that work? As far as
IPNet and IBM are concerned, the only change to be made would be to use the
hub's URL to post to, rather than the final destination's. Any objections to
that scenario?

Thanks.

-Philippe

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.

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
