Agenda & Proceedings

2. Roll Call:

3. Status of developing issues:

  • Next three scheduled sessions are underway:
  • Outstanding Issue Update: (from last call)
  • postmortem on the 2008.01.17 OKMDS session on "Creating Informational and Virtual Space for Knowledge Sharing"
    • see: ConferenceCall_2008_01_17
    • great session ... thanks Jeanne
    • Peter: we actually had a DDOS attack on the wiki that day (seemingly coordinated, from countries that included: PT, GB, NL. US, PL, GB, IT, AR) ... luckily we were able to get through just with a slight slow-down of the wiki page download. The slides download even work properly, despite the huge size of the slide decks used by the speaker.
  • Jeanne will prepare a press release for Federal Computer Week and Government Computer News to announce the mini-series.
    • Jeanne will work on it this week
    • Susan will pass along a contact that might help
  • Discussions:
  • getting ready for the [OKMDS] session on Thu 2008.02.21 - ref. ConferenceCall_2008_02_21 - need confirmation:
    • topic: "How KM Supports Decision Making Within Government"
    • panelists: Giora Hadar, ... (need bios and pictures too, if we only have less than 3 people on the panel)
    • session chair: Jeanne Holm
  • ascertaining that everything is still on target for the [OKMDS] session on Thu 2008.03.22 - ref. ConferenceCall_2008_03_20
  • continue with discussion on suggested program content for the next 2~3 months or even the entire 6 months of the mini-series
    • Andy to clarify topic & panel selection with Jeanne
      • inclusion of Ralph, Constellation, ... etc. into existing program? - Yes, now Ralph is in on the Mar-20 panel
    • a session on Andy's work? - Jeanne will follow-up with Andy on this
      • this would be for May-2008
      • this could also be our wrap-up session - therefore great that it will be featuring NASA work too
  • progress review on the [okmds-convene] online discourse which is being archived and cross-posted to [KMgov]
    • still not get very active discussions, possibly due to:
      • cross-discipline between disparate subject matter
      • rapport between the membership of the multiple communities involved
    • Ken: will continue to mull this over with Kurt
    • leveraging on the panel sessions
      • highlighting the core questions again at the beginning of each session to re-focus people toward them - maybe the session chair can do it (even flash a slide with all our questions during the intro)
      • interviews speakers post session - this could also be done over the "chat" session, after most people have dropped off - and post the Q&A to the list
