Introduction

Roundtable XXVI took place on January 30 — February 1, 2013, hosted by Oracle in Santa Clara, California. The Roundtable was attended by 29 people from 16 members and 3 non-members. The CalConnect Interoperability Test Event was held immediately prior to the Roundtable on January 28-30. Nineteen people from 9 members were present onsite, and 2 members participated remotely. In total, 36 people attended, including 2 from Europe, 1 from India, and 1 from New Zealand.

The Roundtable was dedicated to technical committee sessions, and informal discussions and networking, with an all-hands Plenary meeting as the last item on Friday afternoon. The Technical Committee sessions were as usual organized sequentially, without competing parallel sessions, as is our standard practice to allow all attendees who wished to be involved in the discussions of each Technical Committee the opportunity to do so.
