1612 - Summary/Objective
1613 -
161301 - Follow up ref SDS 6 XU4N.
161302 -
161303 - Asked Gary about distributing SDS records for the Technical Exchange
161304 - Meetings?  The  combat project website shows information discussed for
161305 - these meetings indicated by the record on 030415. ref SDS 4 0001
161307 -  ..
161308 - Gary advised that work on the  combat project is confidential, and so
161309 - cannot be distributed in SDS records on the Internet.  He feels SDS
161310 - records must be distributed on a secure Intranet.
161311 -
161312 -      [On 030506 secure Aerospace company server not available to distribute SDS
161313 -      records so far. ref SDS 7 0001
161315 -  ..
161316 - Gary indicated during the call this afternoon that SDS-type capability
161317 - is being discussed for requirements on the  combat project, which is a
161318 - form of Knowledge Repository defined, for example, by the record on
161319 - 000327, citing Doug Engelbart's ideas for a DKR. ref SDS 2 3971
161320 - Gary's record for the first Technical Exchange Meeting on 030415,
161321 - ref SDS 4 1026, shows this effort, which aligns with goals shown on
161322 - the  combat website.....

161332 - These sources show a broad scope for communciation and intelligence
161333 - support, indicated generally in Gary's record on 030121. ref SDS 3
161334 - I467
161336 -  ..
161337 - This presents an opportunity for SDS and/or a derivitive to become a
161338 - core component of project deliverables for combat.  The first step is to
161339 - educate everybody about requirements for a "knowledge" repository that
161340 - are different and more useful than a data base of information.  This
161341 - requires giving people experience with SDS work product.
161342 -
161343 -       [On 030506 discussed with Gary. ref SDS 8 KT5F
161345 -  ..
161346 - Gary has been asking around for access to a secure Aerospace company server that
161347 - can be used for distributing SDS records in a way that gives people
161348 - access to the links.  He has a couple of ideas that he is trying,
161349 - which do not require asking management for permission.  This strategy
161350 - enables giving people experience using SDS work product without going
161351 - through a process of first convincing management that good management
161352 - is a good idea.  On 890809 Morris explained that convincing management
161353 - about using SDS requires teaching management good management practice.
161354 - ref SDS 1 EB6K  A recent example is the record on 030428 showing that
161355 - IBM's manager for Knowledge Management was not convinced that claims
161356 - for SDS support of Knowledge Management are correct, because he has no
161357 - experience with SDS. ref SDS 5 0001  The draft endorsement of SDS by
161358 - Pat Lincoln describes this innovation loop that prevents people from
161359 - gaining experience needed to learn KM. ref OF 1 Y76L
161360 -
161361 -       [On 030506 secure server not yet available; will distribute via
161362 -       email with only internal links available. ref SDS 7 0001
161364 -  ..
161365 - Given this record, the quickest way to kill the SDS effort at Aerospace company
161366 - is to ask for permission to improve the work, in advance of
161367 - establishing that work is improved.  Therefore, the fastest way to get
161368 - approval for funding is to take the time to build a foundation of
161369 - experience showing SDS saves everybody time and money, i.e., the long
161370 - way around is the short way there.
161372 -  ..
161373 - This strategy for gaining visibility of SDS at Aerospace company, ref SDS 0 FH6M,
161374 - will take several months, i.e., 2 - 4, before consideration can be
161375 - given to creating a revenue stream from any kind of sale.
161376 -
161377 -     [On 030506 reviewed need for quietly exploring opportunities to
161378 -     expand SDS and Com Metrics on combat. ref SDS 8 7E5K
