<p><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Hi everyone (apologies to anyone who receives this email twice or more),</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">During the European DDI Meetings in 2011 and IASSIST Conference in 2012 it became known that quite a few people from the DDI and IASSIST communities will be attending the RC33 Conference in Sydney during July. As such, I am gauging interest in a DDI Users and Developers meeting on the last day of the RC33 conference (adjacent to the conference roundtables.) This will present a unique opportunity to meet with colleagues from the Australasian region who are less able to attend events in Europe and North America.</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">Note: the DDI Developers meeting is not a formal part of the RC33 program, and is not an endorsed activity of the RC33 Committee.</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">As is the case with previous DDI Developers meetings there is no fixed agenda, instead participants are encouraged to bring demonstrations of their own work, talking points for discussion or real-world examples of DDI to help test against other's demonstration software on the day. The goal of these meetings is to provide a casual environment to allow developers and users to discuss their strategies for implementing the DDI standards and give live demonstrations allowing fellow users of the standard to examine in-depth solutions to technical issues.</font><br>
