191303 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Gary to Cal at Northrup Gruman following
191304 - up plans on 040914 to expedite work discussed during the meeting on
191305 - 040721 to get SDS configured on the ACE system with a secure server,
191306 - ref SDS 7 UF4V, and confirmed as part of Gary's letter to Cal on
191307 - 040817. ref SDS 8 OM6Y

191310 - A copy went to Gil, which implements discussions on 040914 about
191311 - trying to get Gil involved toward a circle of advocates for SDS, and

191318 -
191319 - Gary's letter says...
191320 -
191321 -    1.  We would still like very much to get access to a conventional
191322 -        web server via ACE. Doing a proper evaluation of the Schedule
191323 -        Diary System (SDS) and extending its value to the group
191324 -        requires the ability to publish the record to a secure
191325 -        intranet. ref DRT 1 0001
191327 -         ..
191328 -    2.  As we have discussed, this is clearly possible since it has
191329 -        been done. ref DRT 1 LN5O
191331 -         ..
191332 -    3.  It would seem that it is a matter of getting cooperation from
191333 -        the right people to accomplish the task. ref DRT 1 TN6H
191335 -         ..
191336 -    4.  At the moment, the "right people" would seem to mean Darrel
191337 -        Satten. ref DRT 1 4O6L
191338 -
191339 -        1)  Is there anyone else we could approach who can / will do
191340 -            the work? ref DRT 1 4O6L
191342 -             ..
191343 -        2)  Can you either arrange for the work to be done or arrange a
191344 -            conference call so that we can discuss this with the right
191345 -            people? ref DRT 1 9K7G
191347 -         ..
191348 -    5.  Gil, Since you have worked with Darrel in the past, is there a
191349 -        chance that he will respond to you where he ignores me?
191350 -        ref DRT 1 RO7K
191352 -         ..
191353 -    6.  Who has to make what happen in order to get this accomplished?
191354 -        How soon can we get it done? ref DRT 1 ZO7O

191362 - Darryl Contacted to Facilitate SDS Records on ACE Intranet System
191363 -
191364 - Follow up ref SDS 7 0001.
191365 -
191366 - Received ref DRT 2 0001 from Gary to Darryl Satten, which seems like a
191367 - follow up to the letter above to Cal. ref SDS 0 LK8G  Maybe Cal and/or
191368 - Gil suggested that Gary write to Darryl, hopefully with the intent
191369 - that Cal and Gil will follow up.  A copy of the letter went to Gil,
191370 - which would support follow up by Gil, ref DRT 2 00W3, but not to Cal.
191372 -  ..
191373 - Gary says to Darryl...
191374 -
191375 -    1.  We are using a program, the Schedule Diary System (SDS), that
191376 -        generates HTML files in a date-based directory structure.
191378 -         ..
191379 -    2.  We want to be able to share those files with their connecting
191380 -        hyperlinks on an ACE-accessible intranet.
191382 -  ..
191383 - This letter follows up and confirms Gary's letter to Cal on 040721
191384 - that explained need for FTP support. ref SDS 7 UF4V
191386 -  ..
191387 - Gary continues...
191388 -
191389 -    3.  The need for a conventional web server derives from the fact
191390 -        that URLs are generated based on dates, so we need to be able
191391 -        to predict what the URL will be at the time the URLs are
191392 -        generated instead of having to figure them out after the files
191393 -        are uploaded. Also, these records track meetings, briefings,
191394 -        phone calls, documents, and similar events, so that are likely
191395 -        to be several a day. The program generates a directory for
191396 -        upload, which is easy with WS_FTP. Having to do manual uploads
191397 -        as is done in ACE would be prohibitively time consuming.
191398 -
191399 -            [On 041015 Gary presents this explanation again to Gary at
191400 -            Aerospace company in Seattle working on the ACE system. ref SDS 11
191401 -            QY47
191403 -         ..
191404 -    4.  The need for access control via ACE derives from several
191405 -        points:
191406 -
191407 -            1.  The content is  combat IS&T MS&I specific. Access needs to
191408 -                be restricted to those who need to have the information
191409 -                rather than being available on (for example) the Aerospace company
191410 -                general intranet.
191412 -                 ..
191413 -            2.  Access needs to be extended outside Aerospace company to some SAIC
191414 -                personnel, and perhaps to customer (Army)
191415 -                representatives, which ACE allows.
191417 -         ..
191418 -    5.  I hope this makes the need clear. If you need any further
191419 -        information, please let me know.

191425 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 congratulating Gary on a good letter
191426 - following up to Darryl, per above, ref SDS 0 PY3J, with a copy to Gil,
191427 - because he may be able to support Gary's work on this matter.
191429 -  ..
191430 - Letter to Gary says...
191431 -
191432 -    1.  Good letter today requesting support from Darryl, ref DIT 1
191433 -        0001, on configuring ACE for SDS support, per above.

191438 -        Cal Keep in Loop Maintain Chain Responsibility
191439 -
191440 -    2.  Cal might be a good person to keep in the loop, so that, if
191441 -        Darryl is out of town, gets delayed, or reassigned, then Cal
191442 -        has a record he can present for others to run with the ball on

191449 -    3.  In follow up discussions, consideration might be given to the
191450 -        following additional points to Darryl, ref DIT 1 R36M, or

360508 -
360509 -             1.  FTP support common to the Internet is needed for SDS
360510 -                 on the ACE system to enable an efficient "virtual
360511 -                 office" capability. ref DIT 1 JP6M

360517 -             2.  Records and files are updated sometimes many times a
360518 -                 day to reflect dynamic interconnectedness of meetings,
360519 -                 calls, and documents that make organizational memory

360527 -         ..
360528 -    4.  This benefit can be seen from examples of SDS records with
360529 -        "forward links" that keep information relevant to evolving
360530 -        context based on situational awareness, which was discussed in
360531 -        the letter on 040721. ref SDS 7 7G8O and ref SDS 7 UF4V  Our
360532 -        Aerospace company records are confidential, however, below are a few
360533 -        examples from other settings showing plans from meetings were
360534 -        implemented over days, weeks, months and years. ref DIT 1 748I

360538 -        symbol typically showing a date. ref DIT 1 E49G  It isn't
360539 -        necessary for you to open all the links; but, take a moment to
360540 -        observe the frequency that is needed to update records
360541 -        dynamically each day from the example on 020729. ref SDS 3 9O5O
360543 -         ..
360544 -    6.  Notice this example was updated several times a day on several
360545 -        occasions. ref DIT 1 W44G  Another example on 961017 further
360546 -        illustrates the need for frequent updating to maintain

360554 -         ..
360555 -    8.  For practical application to save time and money, we need a
360556 -        comparable level of effort for ACE.  As noted in prior letters,
360557 -        this requires a fixed URL for the SDS record, below which the
360558 -        FTP program can construct a directory structure in ACE that
360559 -        automatically maintains link addresses that fit the structure
360560 -        of SDS, illustrated by the examples above. ref DIT 1 H55I
