===== Academic WG Teleconference, 21 Nov 2018 ===== **Present:** Claude Baudoin, Charles Dickerson (co-chair), Uwe Kaufmann (ModelAlchemy) Steve MacLaird, Jason Smith (co-chair). ==== Agenda of Seattle's in-person meeting ==== * Hao Liang and David Mulvaney at Loughborough are working on the video of the "impact study" based on the project with JLR. * Charles asked that Hao and David be provided with OMG registration numbers, as Diane Ehramjian is off for the week. ==== Invitation to more academic participants ==== * Uwe Kaufmann said that he will meet with several academics involved in GfSE (German chapter of INCOSE) and will invite them to participate. Jason Smith sent Uwe a copy of the invitation letter used by Diane Ehramjian. * Steven MacLaird briefly met with James Cockrell from NASA in Mountain View, CA, and will continue to pursue the contact. * We discussed having a one-page flyer, largely based on the information we have on the Wiki page, to be able to leave behind when visiting universities. * Claude demonstrated the dynamic map of locations of OMG Academic Members. This is done by MapAList, using data from a Google Sheet, which was manually created from the results of an OMG member database query. Others liked it. We will need to refresh the data, perhaps no more than once a year. The number of such members in Europe was particularly appreciated. ==== Action Items ==== * Jason: contact Hao and David to obtain the (large) video file when ready. * Claude: get OMG staff to add Hao Liang and David Mulvaney to the OMG database: * Denise Wahl replied that she is taking care of it * Juergen Boldt said he added them to the mailing list * Claude to add them to the table in Section 4.2 of the Wiki main page * Claude: talk to OMG Marketing (probably Diane, next week) about designing a promotional flyer. * Claude took a personal note to add a row in Section 4.2 for Universidad Panamericana in Mexico City, which he had visited a few years ago. They teach BPMN in their management courses.
