[PYTHON META-SIG] (Final!) Proposal for Distributed Objects SIG

[David Arnold]

Hi all!

After some debate, and then the lack of comment on the latest
proposal, I'd like to make a *final* proposal for the establishment of
the Python Distributed Object SIG.

The title will be:

    DO-SIG

The short blurb will be

    DO-SIG: A Special Interest Group for Distributed Object
            programming in Python

And the mission/majordomo info/web page

     This SIG provides a forum for discussion of issues concerning the
     use of Distributed Object technologies with Python.  It is
     specifically charged with developing a CORBA binding for Python
     and submitting it to the OMG for standardisation.

     All aspects of distributed, object oriented programming in Python
     may be discussed. Examples include

        o design and development of a CORBA binding for Python
        o the use of other Distributed Object systems with Python,
          including ILU, Distributed OLE, ABB's OMF, and others.
        o Remote Method Invocation mechanism design and implementation
        o Distributed Objects and WWW integration
        o general Python distributed programming issues

     Here are some important addresses for using the list

        o Content submissions addr: do-sig@python.org
        o Subscriptions addr: do-sig-request@python.org
        o List admin addr: do-sig-admin@python.org
        o List owner addr: do-sig-owner@python.org

     (To get instructions on using the list, send a message containing
     only the word 'help' in the body to the subscriptions address,
     do-sig-request@python.org . You can contact the list owner if you
     need individual help.)

A (simply copied) HTML version is available at

  <http://www.dstc.edu.au/AU/staff/david-arnold/python-dosig.html>


Failing strenuous objection from influential people, I'd like to have
the appropriate web pages, mailing lists, accounts, etc. created and
announced ASAP.  Of course, if you really feel strongly that any
aspect of this is inappropriate, it's not too late for a last minute
change ...


Thanks,
