• Contribute to work projects
• Review/edit submitted work products

• Whitepapers for publication and distribution
• Creation of presentations and SNIA tutorials
• Delivery of presentations at tradeshows and events (optional)
• Contributions of content for posting to the DMF website

• Initiative and Committee Co-Chairs

to program work. 

• DMF Committe Member Activity Description
