I'll be making a lot of noise about DITA in the next couple of months, hopefully coinciding at least somewhat with our upcoming DITA 1.1 release. In any case, I hope to catch up with lots of my fellow DITAphiles at the following events:

• May3rd, I'll be giving a webinar sponsored by PTC and X-Pubs on technology strategy: http://www.x-pubs.com/index.php/site/news/81/
• May 13-16 I'll be at the STC conference in Minneapolis USA, talking about the evolution of DITA and demoing, with Robert Anderson, some of the new functionality in the DITA Open Toolkit: http://stc.org/54thConf/
• June 4-5 I'll be at X-Pubs in Reading UK, with a keynote on DITA, a workshop on information architecture with DITA, and a demonstration of DITA specialization for S1000D: http://www.x-pubs.com
• June 18-20 I'll be back in Toronto for Content Week Canada, talking about DITA and Web 2.0 in the Enterprise: http://www.iqpc.com/cgi-bin/templates/genevent.html?topic=236&event=13072

 My plans for July include talking about something other than DITA, perhaps for as long as an hour at a time. But probably not in this here DITA blog....
