-Don will be giving a simple, model-based demonstration of the principles behind the processing of XML content such as DITA.  The purpose is to have fun learning the concepts that underlie much of DITA's output processing capabilities.  If you happen to learn enough to start a second career as an XSLT programmer, that will be purely accidental!  On the other hand, if you've had a hard day at the office, you can come to this presentation and tear up bits of white and blue paper for a purpose!  Did I say it will be fun?
+Eric Sirois, of IBM, will give this presentation from Canada via the web. This will be an extremely valuable session for anyone who is considering using DITA to consolidate corporate information on a centralized web site, or for delivering component-based information.

Google Maps link to the Freescale campus: http://tinyurl.com/ymts97
JPEG satellite photo of the campus: http://tinyurl.com/yeecnx

The photo has a marker showing the Building C entrance at the north side of the campus. If you turn off of Parmer at the main entrance, you'll need to skirt around the west side of the buildings to get to the C entrance. If you head east/northeast on Anderson Mill from Parmer, you'll find the "back entrance" that feeds directly to the Building C entrance.
