Open CSA (SCA standards)
The SCA specifications which are implemented by Tuscany have moved to OASIS for formal
standardization. This is being done as a series of OASIS technical
committees, each dealing with one or more of aspects of the SCA specifications.
The OASIS activities are carried out in public. You can either observe the activities in the various technical committees, or join one or more of the committees to contribute to.
There are 6 SCA technical committees and by clicking on the links below you can find information about how to join as an observer or contributor. You will also have access to the minutes of meetings of the meetings on the same page.
