1108 - Summary/Objective
1109 -
110901 - Follow up ref SDS 11 0000, ref SDS 7 0000.
110902 -
110903 - Morris seemed to indicate he received ref DIP 2 0001 with ideas for
110904 - follow up questions to Bill on our telecon on 000709. ref SDS 6 0001
110905 -
110906 - Morris did not say he sent these questions to Bill.
110907 -
110908 - He asked me what I concluded from the discusson with Bill?
110909 -
110910 - I mentioned that Bill feels SDS has better organization, and the
110911 - purpose of the questions to Bill are designed to get him to expand on
110912 - this based on what he, as a prototype "busy" manager, cares about.
110913 -
110914 - I started to mention the discussion with Cliff Joslyn about semiotics
110915 - on 000711. ref SDS 10 4267
110916 -
110917 - Morris did not mention reading ref DIP 1 0001 submitted to him and to
110918 - Bill on 000710. ref SDS 7 0001 submitting Jack Park's letter,
110919 - ref DRP 2 0001, received today, ref SDS 8 3961, who in turn submits an
110920 - article by David Gelernter explaining the importance of time as an
110921 - organizing theory for information. ref SDS 8 7565
110922 -
110923 -
110924 -  ..
1110 -
1111 -
1112 - 1026 Morris called back
1113 -
111301 - He did not send the questions to Bill.  He asked me to do it.
111302 -
111303 -    Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 to Bill, with copy to Morris.  Added link
111304 -    to record on 950927 where Dave Vannier gave up on adding
111305 -    intelligence to management. ref SDS 1 7732
111306 -
111307 -       Called Bill on his cell phone, and alerted him about this
111308 -       letter.  He will take a look.  Also mentioned idea of
111309 -       volunteering to install w2k on his computer, ref DIT 1 3120,
111310 -       which we discussed on 000708. ref SDS 5 0784
111311 -
111312 - He advsied that he did does not recall reading Gelernter's article,
111313 - reviewed on 000710, ref SDS 8 7565, and transmitted to him by my
111314 - letter, ref DIP 1 0001, shown in the record. ref SDS 7 0001
111315 -
111316 - Morris asked what Gelernter's article is about?
111317 -
111318 - I related Gelernter's point that time is a useful organizing method
111319 - for information. ref SDS 8 7565   Explained that Gelertner does not
111320 - expressly state, but experience using SDS shows that this method
111321 - organizes information into chronologies of cause and effect that
111322 - provide context, meaning and inference, per explanation of semiotics
111323 - reported a few days later on 000716, from research following call from
111324 - Cliff Joslyn. ref SDS 10 4176
111325 -
111326 - This supports Bill DeHart's point on 000709 that SDS has stronger
111327 - organization than other methods. ref SDS 6 1784

2008 -   ..
200801 - Follow up ref SDS 11 0004, ref SDS 9 0001.
200802 -
200803 - Morris did not mention receiving ref DIP 3 0001 explaining telecon
200804 - with Pat Lincoln at SRI on 000711, ref SDS 9 0001, and planning for a
200805 - meeting at SRI on 000725 0930. ref SDS 9 5250
200806 -
200807 - Asked Morris if he can attend. ref DIP 3 1025
200808 -
200809 - He seemed to indicate his schedule is booked on Tuesday.  He has time
200810 - on 000726 at 1600.
200811 -
200812 -     One possibility might be for him to pick me up at the train
200813 -     station, and we drive to SRI for the meeting, if we can move it
200814 -     to Wednesday.
200815 -
200816 -     Called Morris back and he indicated he might be open to this.
200817 -
200818 -     He did not expressly check his calendar, but did not say he would
200819 -     not do this.
200820 -
200821 -     I need to clarify Morris' calendar.
200822 -
200823 -
200824 - Morris asked for the gives and gets...
200825 -
200826 -     I will get money to do a development project, and SRI would get
200827 -     the opportunity to do Open Source development of products that
200828 -     work off of SDS.
200829 -
200830 -     SRI might get an ownership position in SDS.
200831 -
200832 - Morris asked me to call his this evening OA 2100.

201202 -
201203 - This evening we left this open for Morris to attend the meeting with
201204 - Pat on 000725 at 0930.
201205 -
201206 - The question of whether SRI is a good choice as a business partner to
201207 - develop SDS, is open.  Morris pointed out that SRI does not sell
201208 - software products.  They sell research service.  Morris also noted
201209 - that they might license software designs and/or ideas, so they would
201210 - want an ownership position in SDS.
201211 -
201212 - He asked why, if SDS or anyone puts up money to develop a Windows
201213 - version of SDS, they do not own the SDS program?
201214 -
201215 - I explained they cannot own SDS, because I am not willing to give
201216 - them ownership.
201217 -
201218 - Morris said an investor in that case, will invest elsewhere.
201219 -
201220 - I concurred that investors can invest anywhere they wish.  If people
201221 - wish to invest in Knowledge Management, SDS is the only vehicle
201222 - available for that opportunity, as we discussed on 000106. ref SDS 3
