OASIS XML Localisation Interchange File Format (XLIFF) TC

Hi everyone, I'm writing to introduce myself as a new member of the XLIFF TC.  You may know that I participated in the recent XLIFF Symposium and gave a talk called "XLIFF 2.0: Great (Processing) Expectations".  (Peter Reynolds posted the slides:  http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/201110/msg00020.html )  I've received a lot of encouragement to get more involved, so here I am! A bit of background on me:  I am primarily an implementer, and my perspective comes from writing a couple pieces of code that deal with XLIFF.  I'm most interested in how to make XLIFF interoperate effectively, and I believe this will require a close examination of what each part of an XLIFF document means and what should or can be done with it. I've worked at Spartan Consulting for the last two-plus years, during which I've done projects for TAUS Data Association and Welocalize.  Long before, I was around at the early days of Idiom.  However, I'm not an expert at localization processes, so I will be learning about that. I'm honored and excited to be working on the future of XLIFF and localization standards.  I think there's a lot to be done, but I'm ready to roll up my sleeves!

Very nice to see you on board Andrew.   One more note to anyone who has not seen Andrew’s presentation on XLIFF processing expectation (or wants to put a face on the name), there is a version of the presentation Andrew did at TAUS a few weeks ago recorded here: http://youtu.be/s3jnTUApsj4   Cheers, -yves   From: xliff@lists.oasis-open.org [mailto:xliff@lists.oasis-open.org] On Behalf Of Andrew Pimlott Sent: Tuesday, December 06, 2011 8:52 PM To: xliff@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: [xliff] Joining the TC   Hi everyone,   I'm writing to introduce myself as a new member of the XLIFF TC.  You may know that I participated in the recent XLIFF Symposium and gave a talk called "XLIFF 2.0: Great (Processing) Expectations".  (Peter Reynolds posted the slides:  http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/201110/msg00020.html )  I've received a lot of encouragement to get more involved, so here I am!   A bit of background on me:  I am primarily an implementer, and my perspective comes from writing a couple pieces of code that deal with XLIFF.  I'm most interested in how to make XLIFF interoperate effectively, and I believe this will require a close examination of what each part of an XLIFF document means and what should or can be done with it.   I've worked at Spartan Consulting for the last two-plus years, during which I've done projects for TAUS Data Association and Welocalize.  Long before, I was around at the early days of Idiom.  However, I'm not an expert at localization processes, so I will be learning about that.   I'm honored and excited to be working on the future of XLIFF and localization standards.  I think there's a lot to be done, but I'm ready to roll up my sleeves!   Andrew   -- Andrew Pimlott Chief Technology Office Spartan Consulting http://spartanconsultinginc.com/  

Hi Andrew, Welcome! You join us at a great time. The goals you mentioned are exactly inline with what the TC is doing right now. And the fact that you are "ready to roll up your sleeves" is music to my ears.
