Just a reminder to make a place in your travel schedule for the XML 2006 conference in Boston (USA) from 5-7 December. The XML 200x conferences are always a great learning and networking experience; I've been to all but one since XML 2000.
This year, I'm speaking in the panel session on Agile XML Development on Tuesday 5 December. I'm not doing the "agile" part of the session per se. What I will be talking about are techniques and technologies that I've found useful in setting up XML build/release systems, akin to the build/release systems that are used for programming language sources/libraries.
If you can make it, come and say hi! It should definitely be an interesting session for anyone who has to manage releases of schemas or other XML assets, as well as for anyone who has to integrate XML assets into their generic software build/release process.
