This free membership initiative comes at a time of accelerating momentum
for the DSC, with a growing number of Contributor members joining Wacom
at the Board level including industry heavyweights Fujitsu
Client Computing Limited, Montblanc,
and Samsung.
"We're pleased to offer this special Promoter membership opportunity to
start-ups and academics interested in joining the DSC. As our membership
growth momentum continues, we recognize the essential role that this
development community continues to play in harnessing the power of
digital ink," said Masahiko Yamada, DSC chairman, and president and CEO
of Wacom. "Their innovation and experience will help the DSC identify
and create new digital stationery use cases where everyone can freely
capture, shape and share new ideas beyond the boundaries of technology,
ecosystems, industries or countries."
DSC
Promoter Membership Companies who meet the qualifications
will be joining the DSC as Promoter members with the membership fees
waived for the first year. Promoter membership benefits include the
ability to participate in DSC meetings as well as participate in one of
three work
groups. As part of the DSC, members will work to establish digital
ink as universal, open and smart content format based on the Wacom Ink
Layer Language (WILL™). WILL's digital ink technology ensures
cross-compatibility of ink data, allowing businesses and consumers to
freely communicate and collaborate across digital devices, operating
systems, hardware platforms and cloud services. Other benefits can be
