0606 -
060601 - Follow up ref SDS 7 0000.
060602 -
060603 - Al Jackson, with Jackson Construction, did the introduction.  He
060604 - passed out evaluation sheets to get feedback from attendees.

060607 -        Keys to Empowerment and Teamwork in a New World Order
060608 -
060609 - Explained emerging new world order of faster paced information that
060610 - overwhelms daily management. ref OF 2 1675
060611 -
060612 - Used ideas from planning on 940621, ref SDS 3 8849, and presentation
060613 - at Sandia Labs on 940831. ref SDS 5 6044
060614 -
060615 -     I saw Leslie later in the day and she indicated the evaluations
060616 -     will be available at the conclusion of the event. She will be on
060617 -     vacation next week.  Leslie asked me to call her week after next,
060618 -     to get the results from attendees.

060627 -
060628 - I forgot to show the SDS publications data base.  I also did not have
060629 - time to ask people to write an analysis of the paper and the presenta-
060630 - tion so they can discover what they learned and how it might apply to
060631 - their work.
060632 -
060633 -     Key question is:
060634 -
060635 -         What will conferees do next Monday as a result of attending
060636 -         the conference that they were not doing before?
060637 -
060638 -
060639 -
060640 - Follow Up Session
060641 -
060642 - At the conclusion of the presentation, I used SDS tools to remind
060643 - attendees that if there are questions, we can do a follow up session,
060644 - per planning on 940926. ref SDS 7 6822
060645 -
060646 -     After the presentation, 8 - 10 people asked for a follow up
060647 -     session.
060648 -
060649 -         A woman said she has a lot of questions about how SDS is
060650 -         "integrated" and used with conventional wordprocessing tools.
060651 -         ..
060652 -         Someone asked how SDS relates to Lotus Notes?
060653 -
060654 -             He said his office has made a corporate decision to use
060655 -             Lotus Notes (similar to Turner on 940502, ref SDS 1 7033),
060656 -             and asked how SDS relates to that.
060657 -
060658 -             I advised LN may be able to support replicating SDS
060659 -             records to other locations, per review at ref SDS 2 8846.
060660 -             I did not really get a chance to discuss this because the
060661 -             follow up session could not be arranged.
060662 -
060663 -     I said I will arrange for an ad hoc session and will leave word at
060664 -     the Waterfront Centre hotel, so that attendees can call the hotel
060665 -     to get the time and location of the follow up session.
060666 -
060667 -     George Diggins, Planning Supervisor with Florida Power & Light
060668 -     (FPL) asked for the NWO ..., article, ref OF 2
060669 -
060670 -     Told him I will bring it to the follow up session this afternoon.
060671 -
060672 -           Since the follow up session actually fell through, I put
060673 -           about 10 copies of the article on a bench outside the
060674 -           follow up session room.  They were gone the next day when
060675 -           Millie came back and checked.
060676 -
060677 -           [On 941018 sent the article to George. ref SDS 10 0001.]
060678 -
060679 -     Sid Richardson with Oracle asked if I would "...give the same talk
060680 -     to..." his office co-workers.  His office is in Vancouver a few
060681 -     blocks from the Waterfront hotel, so we can do it later today or
060682 -     tomorrow.  He gave me his business card with this message, asking
060683 -     me to call.
060684 -
060685 -           Called and left message for Sid at his office.

060710 -            implementing SDS.
060711 -
060712 -            I explained that the POIMS article in the record of
060713 -            proceedings explains how SDS is implemented.  Chun asked me
060714 -            to mail a copy to his office.

0611 -
061101 - Went to the PMI conference control room, room 21 and scheduled a

0614 - 1247 Printed Articles
0615 -
061501 - Initially was unable to print the articles because it is created
061502 - under Wordperfect 6.0a and the printer was configured on the notebook
061503 - for HP Laserjet III Postscript.  The hotel business center's printer
061504 - was not postscript.
061505 -
061506 - Went back to the PMI Conference Control Center to see if Leslie could
061507 - print it, since she did the editing on the POIMS article.  Leslie was
061508 - at lunch.
061509 -
061510 - They did not have printer and computer support, but an attendant
061511 - suggested saving the Wordperfect 6.0A file in version 5.1.
061512 -
061513 - Went back to hotel and was able to save the file in 5.1.  Millie took
061514 - the file on a disk, back to the business center and printed 10 sets.

0619 -
061901 - No one showed up.  I left the articles on NWO... on a table in front
061902 - of meeting room 4.
061903 -
061904 -       Millie and I checked the day before, and found the articles were
061905 -       gone.  Not sure if attendees picked them up, or if maintenance
061906 -       people threw them away at the end of yesterday.
061907 -
061908 - Later talked to Lowell with Miller Brewing Company, ref SDS 9 line 39,
061909 - and to whom I had given a copy of the NWO... article in the elevator
061910 - of the Waterfront Centre hotel.  He seemed to have read the article.
061911 -
061912 - Talked to Leslie while Millie was attending a conference on dispute
061913 - resolution.  She said the POIMS session was the only request for a
061914 - follow up session.
