Subject: opportunity to represent Publishing@W3C at IDEAlliance event in NYC April 17

Hi, IDEAlliance (magazine focused trade and standards association) is holding an event in NYC on April 17 and would like to have a panel about Publishing@W3C. Unfortunately neither myself nor Karen Myers is available but if one or two Steering Committee members are in NYC that day and could do it I think it would be a good opportunity... certainly not a "must do" particularly given short notice for the invitation, but worthwhile given our need to expand the community to get representation from additional communities. Please LMK if interested or directly respond to their CTO and organizer for the event Dianne Kennedy (Dianne Kennedy dkennedy@idealliance.org<mailto:dkennedy@idealliance.org>) (and in that case please cc: Karen and myself).

Thanks!
