PPML and PPML/VDX working groups plan November 2003 meetings in San Francisco and Toronto
|
OCTOBER 21, 2003 — Two technical working groups that are important
to the variable-data-publishing community
will hold meetings next month.
The PODi PPML working group
will meet in San Francisco November 4-7, and
the CGATS PPML/VDX
working group will meet in
Toronto November 17-18.
The PODi group's four-day meeting in San Francisco
will focus on high-volume-mail workflow,
PPML templating, strategies for advancing PPML, and continued refinement of the PPML specification.
All PODi member companies may send a technical and marketing representative
to the PPML working-group meeting. For more information, contact
Tracy Burkovich at tracyb@podi.org. To obtain information on
PODi membership benefits, or to find out how to become a PODi member,

At its two-day Toronto meeting, the CGATS group will analyze and discuss
color-characterization data that have been gathered during the course of various tests
that were performed with a collection of specific devices and media types, and the group will also continue its
work on the PPML/VDX Application Notes, which is a document that contains case studies,
PPML/VDX code samples, and other information that PPML/VDX developers should find useful.

become a member of this group, or if you're just curious about it, visit
