Hi,

The Open Standards Asia Pacific Conference will be held in Sydney between
29-30 October 2008. The theme of the conference this year is " Recognising
the intersection between open standards and open source". This is a unique
conference in the world that is industry independent, vendor independent,
and Standards Body/Group Independent. The conference aims at promoting "True
Openness" in IT covering all areas of IT.

I have been given the honour to chair this conference this year also. I have
been chairing this conference since 2004.

This conference has a long history. It started out as "SGML/XML Asia Pacific
Conference" between 1993-2000 and between 2001-2006, it was known as "OASIS
Open Standards Asia Pacific Conference" and since 2007, it is now called as
"Open Standards Asia Pacific Conference". The conference is organised by
Allette Systems, Sydney, a publishing company, and they are also known for
organising another conference called "Open Publish" both in Australia and in
the USA.

Please feel free to circulate this email to anyone and/or your group who you
think might me be interested in this unique event.

Thank you

Regards,

Ram Kumar
