From Pam_Harris at hill-rom.com Mon Oct 3 11:56:32 2005 From: Pam_Harris at hill-rom.com (Pam_Harris at hill-rom.com) Date: Mon, 3 Oct 2005 13:56:32 -0400 Subject: REMINDER - FrameMaker 7.2 and XML Authoriting Group Mtg. tomorrow Message-ID: NC-FUN SIG Events Next Meeting: Sarah O'Keefe presents Upgrading to FrameMaker 7.2 (JUST RELEASED!) Date: Tuesday, October 4 (note new date, not our usual fourth Tuesday) Time: 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Topic: Join us for a joint meeting with the XML Authoring Group. Sarah O'Keefe from Scriptorium Publishing Services will demo the new features in FrameMaker 7.2. These include multiple undos (finally!) and a few small interface changes. Most of the excitement, however, is on the structured side. FrameMaker 7.2 adds support for schema files in addition to DTDs. A new structured template is provided for DITA, so you can implement DITA-based authoring in FrameMaker more quickly. During import or export, you can now apply XSL transformation, which means your FrameMaker files and your XML files can use different structure. You could even filter content during import or export. Join us for the inside scoop on FrameMaker 7.2 -- Sarah wrote the new structure migration guide delivered with the product, so she should be up to speed. Contact Pam Harris, our SIG manager, if you have questions.

The Adobe team discussed in this online case study -- http://www.adobe.com/products/framemaker/pdfs/AdobeOnAdobe_SS_m_ue_Fnl.pdf -- will be presenting at the FrameMaker 2005 Chautauqua. Kevin Susco will be presenting on Adobe's own use of DITA and FrameMaker, and one of his team members will be on hand. (Also coming to the Raleigh conference are two members of Adobe's FrameMaker team from California and one from the team in India.) Idiom Technologies, the CMS company that worked with Adobe on this DITA implementation project, will also be on hand at the conference to answer questions regarding the case study and FrameMaker+DITA. Bright Path Solutions also provided consulting and training services for Adobe's implementation, and will be on hand to discuss DITA hotpoints and our services. David Schell *himself* will be presenting a new introduction to DITA that may be useful to those of you considering this structure. Dave's presentation will be generic in discussing tools. If you don't know who DAVE SCHELL is, you need to GOOGLE him. Also look for names like DON DAY and MICHAEL PRIESTLEY. Last but certainly not least, "Featured Speaker" Bernard Aschwanden has recently completed some DITA work with CMS cmpany SiberLogic, and Bernard and SiberLogic will also be at the conference and available for querying.

The conference is now just a couple of weeks away. A wise person working here on the conference setup has suggested that we extend the cutoff date for registration at the $695US rate. So, even though the website says (for the moment) that registrations after October 27th are at a higher rate of $795US, we will continue registering at the $695US rate until early November. If your company is processing your registration, and you are concerned about hitting that cutoff, please contact me directly (off list). Thank you, Kay PS - The following companies have representatives coming to share their highs and lows of working with FrameMaker: Cisco, T-Mobile, Adobe's ICOMM Team, Medtronic, Misys Healthcare, Air Atlanta Icelandic, and US Airways' MidAtlantic Airways. .K. -------------------------------------- Kay Ethier Bright Path Solutions PO Box 14265 Research Triangle Park NC 27709-4265 PHONE: 919.244.8559 http://www.travelthepath.com mailto:kethier at travelthepath.com -------------------------------------- **Check out Bright Path Solutions conferences: FrameMaker 2005 Chautauqua, November 7-9, 2005 (sponsored by SiberLogic) http://www.travelthepath.com/chat/chautauqua.html DITA 2006(TM) Conference, March 23-25, 2006 (sponsored by OASIS) http://www.travelthepath.com/dita2006.html
