271917 -        to be worked out.
271919 -         ..
271920 -        One approach we considered is for Gary to own part of SDS and
271921 -        this would enable him to work on SDS to develop what he needs
271922 -        to do his work at Aerospace company, and would, also, solve IP problem.

271925 -        Gary indicated that working on SDS would make it easier to

271966 -      Gary called this morning.  He is the contract software
271967 -      engineer that works for Aerospace company.  I sent you a copy of a letter to
271968 -      Gary on 011212. ref SDS 98 0001, that lays out some preliminary
271969 -      steps to work on SDS, etc.
271971 -       ..
271972 -      Today, we came up with a possible step of collaborating with you
271973 -      to make the C version of Medit work for SDS, or do something else
271974 -      that moves us forward.  He seems to want an SDS type of
271975 -      capability to manage things at Aerospace company. Actually, the discussion
271976 -      showed he needs immediate help.  I explained if he got SDS today,
271977 -      that would not solve his immediate problem, because it takes time
271978 -      to learn.  I could support the work, and that would solve his
271979 -      problem.  He feels the guys at Aerospace company are not ready for a
271980 -      discussion on Com Metrics because they are too busy trying to
271981 -      decide whether to make a list action items so they don't spend 2
271982 -      days arguing about who said what at the last meeting, etc.
271984 -       ..
271985 -      Mentioned that Morris has worked out some methods with Microsoft
271986 -      programs that may help.  In any case, would like to see if some
271987 -      communication with Gary and you indicates to you that he may be a
271988 -      good partner for SDS development.
