At the March meeting, Rhys Griffiths from AMD will present on Migrating to XML/DITA.

Presentation
CMS vendors evangelists frequently show the benefits of working in DITA. This presentation discusses methods and side effects for migrating your content from proprietary text file formats .fm, .doc, .pdf, and .odt to .xml content, specifically to the DITA 1.0 schema. There will be a practical demonstration of FrameMaker Conversion Tables.
