* Tie down details of the 08-Nov-2007 [[OKMDS]] Launch Event 
** ref. last week's discussion (Oct-25): 
** (suggested) general agenda for the Nov-8 launch event: 
*** Opening and welcome  -- Peter 
*** Andrew and Jeanne will set out the agenda and the questions to be discussed to maintain focus as people get used to the environment 
*** 5 minutes for pre-brief.  This will establish the context and set the focus. 
*** 15 to 20 minutes to go around the room asking each person to give a short introduction (NOT a presentation!) about themselves. 
*** 30 to 45 minutes for the main presentation done by Andrew and Jeanne. 
*** 30 minutes.  Open discussion.  Issues that were not addressed can be registered with the chat window. 
*** Conclusion / Follow-up - ask people to subscribe to discussion list, and actively discuss/debate the issues 
** Agreed that the 08-Nov-2007 [[OKMDS]] Launch Event would consist of three parts 
*** 1. Initiative Overview 
*** 2. First presentation of the series by Andrew and Jeanne 
*** 3. Review of organizing process and communication options to ensure full participation by interested individuals - how to join discussion forum, listserv cross-posting?, RSS feeds, podcasts of sessions 
** Andy: it will be one slide deck between both Jeanne & Andy 

* suggest program content for the next 2~3 months or even the entire 6 months of the mini-series 
** speaker sessions - candidate speaker, topic, date (for each) 
** panel discussions - topic, chair/moderator, candidate panelists (for each) 
** Suggestions: 
*** Peter: SOFI panel - Gordon, Glenn, Yim, cheyer, Baclawski, Cassidy, Bedford - aim for this being the next event early Dec. 
**** need date, title and abstract by the 11/8 Launch date 
*** Peter: Dialog mapping - Conklin, Shum, Park et al. 
*** Ken: ontology-based Dialog Planning for Relational Medicine - can probably cluster this with the baove item 
*** Susan: Morrison on IARPA funded research IC use of knowledge/decision environments 
**** ping Leo et al. if we put together a panel on the above focus 
*** Ken: "Living with Uncertainty" - panel on probabilistic reasoning and decision support 
*** Jeanne / Andy should probably have some great stuff at NASA we can draw upon 
*** Andy: ongoing stuff that may be of interest - 
**** (1) infrastructure stuff, building the metadata, standard development work, ... 
**** (2) the glamorous NASA stuff - interesting technologies to help do science, ... 
*** we should solicit something from the KM community 
**** Susan: Denise have started a "business narrative" working group that may be relevant 
**** we need to ping Jeanne, Denise and Nancy on this 

* General consensus (from participants at this call): 
** stay focused on our mission - ref. mission statement: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OKMDS#nid152K 
** may need to reiterate between our mission statement and the programing to make sure they align 
** identify who can be speakers at the intersections (not just the domain experts) 
** have people from different community vantage points comment on the experts' presentations 

* identify "discussion moderators" to champion/focus on particular questions we want to investigate/explore 
** online discourse - topic, moderator, candidate (invited) experts to help lead & contribute to the discussion 
** Kurt: how about having each member of the organizing committee to come up with 3 question for each of the main themes 
** Susan: use the 8 question in our mission statement as the springboard 
*** we solicit the participants to come up with their questions, and the rights once will float to the top 
** [[User:KennethBaclawski|Ken Baclawski]] and [[KurtConrad|Kurt Conrad]] will lead the online discourse 
*** we could even get the community to help focus the mission -- as a first topic 
*** Peter: Ken & Kurt, please be prepared to tell people (in 3~5 minutes) how to move forward on this during our launch event 

* Online discourse - need to clarify on the logistics and mechanics of cross-posting to [KMgov] and [okmds-convene] 

* define (ultimate) deliverables of this entire mini-series
