110803 - Gary offers constructive comments about using SDS which will increase
110804 - the presence of SDS on the Internet, and so help grow a culture of
110805 - knowledge, essential for accomplishing the shift from IT to KM.  We
110806 - need some direct discussion on terms for Gary to use SDS, and we need
110807 - more work on anchoring our communication in POIMS to provide proactive
110808 - enabling forces that supplement cultural changes now occurring, which
110809 - can significantly help people see the benefits of KM. ref SDS 0 T33L
110810 - Gary is thinking about assembling open source tools to create some
110811 - technology he has in mind.  Finding the time to work on developing
110812 - ideas for new tools is a very big effort in relation to investing time
110813 - to make a living. ref SDS 0 XU3L  There might be a possibility that
110814 - SDS can help Gary publish ideas on using technology to enable good
110815 - management, provided he has time to retool skills to learn SDS and Com
110816 - Metrics. ref SDS 0 0214  Getting all of these enabling forces into
110817 - alignment for developing and deploying technology that lifts
110818 - civilization to a new plateau takes about 50 years. ref SDS 0 R66K
