222038 -      showcasing innovative technologies at the U.S. Olympics in Utah.
222039 -      So, follow-on meetings will discuss how to rapidly integrate a
222040 -      value-chain of innovative technologies in personal wireless

222055 -
222056 -               This is a major step toward the meeting with Jim planned
222057 -               to review SDS on 010103. ref SDS 24 0001
222058 -  ..
222059 -               On 010211 letter Jim asked for support on using SDS to
222060 -               advance education. ref SDS 38 3EPY
222061 -
222062 -           Were letters issued to the parties confirming understandings
222063 -           and proposing follow up?
222064 -
222065 -           Is it IBM, SRI, Pacific Consultants or all three that are
222066 -           planning to showcase technologies at the Olympics?
222067 -           ..
222068 -           Who is the lead looking for ideas to showcase, and who
222069 -           are the possible suppliers of such ideas?
222070 -
222071 -           Value chain of innovative technologies in personal wireless
222072 -           devices was reported missing today at a world telecom
222073 -           conference attended by major players.  Intel said industry
222074 -           is going bankrupt pursuing future innovative technologies
222075 -           that are never implemented because people cannot absorb
222076 -           continual change in daily work practice. ref SDS 48 FM6J
222077 -           Recommendation is to focus on implementing stable
222078 -           innovations, so productivity is improved. ref SDS 48 W56J
222079 -
222080 -               This problem was discussed with Doug Engelbart on

222083 -
222084 -       ..
222085 -
222086 -      Software candidates under consideration, are, ref DRT 1 009P
222087 -
222088 -             SDS
222089 -             XTM
222090 -             OHS
222091 -             DKR
222092 -             Digital-Earth and a
222093 -             GeoWeb of location-based services,
222094 -             Information-In-Place(s)/Worldboard,
222095 -             EOE and
222096 -             GeoVector
222097 -  ..
222098 -      What is the basis of consideration?
222099 -
222100 -         Is it useful to coordinate with each of these vendors on
222101 -         integration with SDS, OHS, etc?
222102 -
222103 -      Who is doing the considering?
222104 -
222105 -         On 950927 Intel gave up planning to do something useful with
222106 -         technology, which they previously set a goal to accomplish,
222107 -         despite having $5B to invest annually. ref SDS 2 2742
222108 -
222109 -         On 941114 IBM planned to develop SDS, ref SDS 1 5380, then
222110 -         later invested $4B for Lotus Notes, which is unable to support
222111 -         KM, reported on 001130. ref SDS 21 F26K
222112 -
222113 -         This experience shows that having opened the door to discuss
222114 -         moving forward, careful efforts are needed to assist whoever
222115 -         is planning the event for the Olympics to wind up doing
222116 -         something helpful for KM.
222117 -
222118 -         With this in mind, we may be able to fashion a proposal to be
222119 -         showcased based on Jack's letter today, fleshing out an OHS
222120 -         capability, ref SDS 47 0001, within the framework advanced by
222121 -         Matt Conover in his letter on 010211. ref SDS 38 1V6L
222122 -
222123 -            [On 010228 John Deneen explained this opportunity to John
