*** The time of this teleconference is in direct conflict with the ODM FTF telecon which means that Elisa and myself cannot participate.  Furthermore, the OWL working group telecon starts at 1PM Eastern Time on Wednesdays and runs until 2:30PM, making this a particularly bad day and time for us.

*** Rex: is it possible to show something tangible too?
*** Farrukh: let's present the 'what', not the 'how'
*** presenting the vision at the summit F2F
*** Bruce: let's present something we have accomplished rather than something we are planning to accomplish
*** Michelle: will clarify time allocation at F2F - put in a 1.5-Hr request '''<--adopted'''
*** Peter: suggest we put together task force to handle the preparation of this OOR-team presentation (mainly the implementation folks) - Bruce, Mike, Mark, Farrukh, Evan & Peter
*** Peter: alternate suggestion for the task force to handle the preparation of this OOR-team presentation (mainly the co-chairs) - Leo, Frank Fabian, Barry, Pat
*** Bruce: propose to have Leo and Peter, Mike too (later confirmed)to champion this presentation effort, and Leo to be the lead speaker '''<--adopted'''
**** Leo: I could kick off the presentation in the overview, and then have individual speakers for each section (we'll be looking for volunteers) '''<--adopted'''
*** Leo: start asking all panelists (in the 4 sessions) to come up with a 2-slide summary  '''<--adopted'''
**** all speakers are requested to send in a 2-slide summary of their brief (in addition to the slide deck they use during the briefing) for use in a presentation that the OOR-team will be making at the [[OntologySummit2008|Ontology Summit 2008]] face-to-face workshop
*** Ravi: two threads here - (a) summary of what's going on, (b) how we are thinking about the roadmap to implementation
*** Leo: summarizing - (i) Overview, rationale and motivations, (ii) existing efforts, and how they satisfy the rationale, (iii) what people need, and how they satisfy the rationale, (iv) summarizing that into requirements, and how they satisfy the rationale, & (v) the roadmap to developing/delivering that in an OOR implementation effort, and how they satisfy the rationale '''<--adopted'''
**** Michelle: maybe we can call item (i) "Value proposition" (which is business speak)
*** therefore, we need more time, let's ask for 1.5 Hours
*** Bruce: emphasize why an OOR is needed ... more so than telling people that we know how to get there
*** Farrukh: we need to clarify that we are NOT advocating a single central repository ... federation is where we are going

      • Bruce: let's present something we have accomplished rather than something we are planning to accomplish
      • Michelle: will clarify time allocation at F2F - put in a 1.5-Hr request <--adopted
      • Peter: suggest we put together task force to handle the preparation of this OOR-team presentation (mainly the implementation folks) - Bruce, Mike, Mark, Farrukh, Evan & Peter
      • Peter: alternate suggestion for the task force to handle the preparation of this OOR-team presentation (mainly the co-chairs) - Leo, Frank Fabian, Barry, Pat
      • Bruce: propose to have Leo and Peter, Mike too (later confirmed)to champion this presentation effort, and Leo to be the lead speaker <--adopted
        • Leo: I could kick off the presentation in the overview, and then have individual speakers for each section (we'll be looking for volunteers) <--adopted
      • Leo: start asking all panelists (in the 4 sessions) to come up with a 2-slide summary <--adopted
        • all speakers are requested to send in a 2-slide summary of their brief (in addition to the slide deck they use during the briefing) for use in a presentation that the OOR-team will be making at the Ontology Summit 2008 face-to-face workshop
      • Ravi: two threads here - (a) summary of what's going on, (b) how we are thinking about the roadmap to implementation
      • Leo: summarizing - (i) Overview, rationale and motivations, (ii) existing efforts, and how they satisfy the rationale, (iii) what people need, and how they satisfy the rationale, (iv) summarizing that into requirements, and how they satisfy the rationale, & (v) the roadmap to developing/delivering that in an OOR implementation effort, and how they satisfy the rationale <--adopted
        • Michelle: maybe we can call item (i) "Value proposition" (which is business speak)
      • therefore, we need more time, let's ask for 1.5 Hours
      • Bruce: emphasize why an OOR is needed ... more so than telling people that we know how to get there
      • Farrukh: we need to clarify that we are NOT advocating a single central repository ... federation is where we are going
  • Timeline / Milestones: <--(discussion deferred to next meeting)
