 DMF eBulletin <http://www.snia.org/about/DMF_ebull_header_resize.jpg> 


With the summer months behind us, and the busy autumn season ahead, the Data
Management Forum would like to update you on a few our latest projects.

First - Welcome to the inaugural edition of the DMF eBulletin! 

Watch for these informative emails about twice a month with news on Forum
activities and events. Comments, topic suggestions and questions are always
welcome. Please send emails to ebull@advisorygroups.snia.org.

WEBSITE: Over the summer we have refreshed our DMF website. New features
include DMF Highlights, an Ask the Experts forum and links to our latest
white papers. Check out the DMF homepage at: www.snia-dmf.org
<http://www.snia-dmf.org/> .

EVENTS: Storage Networking World Fall 2006 is right around the corner. Mark
your calendar for SNW in Orlando Florida, October 30th November 3rd. You can
register online for SNW at: www.snwusa.com/registeronline.html.

The DMF is leading a complete redesign of the SNW Solution Center. The new
format and on-floor promotions are sure to produce the best end-user
experience yet! The theme is Information in Motion with demonstrations
illustrating the lifecycle of information. Solution stations will be
highlighting the most current and compelling technologies addressing the
data management market today. In addition, the DMF is participating in the
Hands-on-lab titled, Get a Life(cycle) Automated Data Classification 101.
There is still time to sign up. Come join us!

SPECIAL FEATURE: New! SNIA Webcast, titled Information Classification: The
Cornerstone of Information Management. 

The practice of information classification is fundamental to any Information
Lifecycle Management strategy. Information classification requires that I.T.
administrators work with line-of-business and knowledge workers to gain an
understanding of the data to be managed. Join Sheila Childs in the Premiere
SNIA On-Demand webcast at http://www.accelacomm.com/jlp/dmfeBull/0/10010006/
as she explains the different types of classification methodologies and
techniques available today!
