181034 -    3.  Last night Pat Lincoln called.  He feels there could be support
181035 -        from his boss at the VP level, who is the PI (I think) for the
181036 -        CALO project, to encourage your people to contribute on a
181037 -        presentation for Com Metrics, as Jack requested in his letter.
181038 -        The first step (when you have time to take a breath) is to
181039 -        respond to Jack, letting him know his letter was received and
181040 -        that you are working the issue.  The draft says you are busy,
181041 -        and so may not have time to make a presentation at SRI, but the
181042 -        letter saying that should be submitted as a matter of courtesy
181043 -        and good management.
181044 -
181045 -             [On 040227 Aerospace company responds to SRI's request for a
181046 -             presentation on SDS; probably will not have enough time.

260604 -        Pat, also, suggested doing a test to compare the difference in
260605 -        time required to produce organizational memory with SDS and the
260606 -        time to do the same thing using approved popular software.  Of
260607 -        course this requires getting approval to do the test.  Creating
260608 -        SDS work product with conventional tools takes days.  How will
260609 -        this get approved with the common attitude that good management
260610 -        which cannot be accomplished using tools everybody likes is
260611 -        ignored as "unnecessary overkill"?
