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
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.
