JoAnn Hackos, ComTech
Gershon Joseph, Cisco
Paul Gross, PTC,
Kris Eberlein, SDL
Seraphim Larsen, Intel
Regrets:
Darryl Tewes, Individual member
Patricia Gee, Oracle

2. Roster
---------
We went through the roster
Action: Kris Eberlein to contact Jana Jenkins and Mariana Alupului, IBM
Action: JoAnn Hackos to contact Rob Hanna (Individual member) and Valerie Lipow (Lockheed Martin)
3. Discussion of general purpose and role of this SC:
----------------------------------------------------
Gershon: Need to further develop technical communication specialization. Lots of people developing their own specializations to meet tech comm needs.
JoAnn: Need for experts in technical communication to critically evaluate proposals brought to the DITA TC from a tech comm perspective.
Kris: Now that DITA is moving beyond technical communication, we need a SC to look after tech comm interests. DITA started with tech comm, needs to continue to meet needs of tech comm community. Potential disconnect between DITA TC and larger community -- to the larger community, DITA = technical communication. Yet DITA TC is moving on to focus on publishing, pharmaceuticals, enterprise business documents, etc.
Paul: Need to ensure that the modules are maintained coherently.
Seraphim: Many DITA subcommittees are getting increasingly company-specific, drifting away from original DITA TC vision of open-source content.
4. Possible items for this subcommittee to address
--------------------------------------------------
We discussed command-line interface documentation and troubleshooting information. Other possible items include:
* Quick Reference Guides
* Change control
* Multimedia solutions
Best regards,
Kris
