Folks, (01)
I've got the session page up now.
See: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2008_04_17 (02)
Please review, and make any edits, additions of support material etc.
as you see fit. (03)
I look forward to your advice on the ordering of the presentations
(asap please), and then your slides by end-of-day Tue 2008.04.15. (I
have them in alphabetical order, for the time being; which, obviously,
is sub-optimal.) (04)
Looks like this is going to be really good. I'm looking forward to it. (05)
Thanks & regards. =ppy

There will now be the issue of sequencing of talks given, which I
think Peter mentions elsewhere. As Eric correctly pointed out when he
popped past my office this morning: we've got a lot of material to
cover. (08)
I'd like to think that we would best figure out a sequence of talks
by looking at each other's slides, but from just looking at the
abstracts, I have an intuitive sequence that starts from broadest to
most specialized rather than, say, the other way around. I'll just
toss out the idea as follows:
Simon is bound to give the broadest overview of the space
I'm more specialized to the mapping aspect of the space
Eric and Jeff are more specialized to dialogs, issues, and consensus,
which, it seems to me, is pretty close to both the meat and the bones
of sensemaking. (09)
Thoughts? (010)
Cheers
Jack (011)
