Sorry, this is my first time on Ontolog... Werner [09:31] JohnBateman: @Werner: yes, you should hear stuff if you are connected to the telephone conference line [09:32] PeterYim: Hi Ram [09:33] anonymous morphed into FabianNeuhaus [09:34] JohnBateman: @Werner: did you find the conference line number on the http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2011_05_26 [09:35] Werner Kuhn: yes, found the number - if i dial it on skype, how do i enter the conference id then? [09:36] JohnBateman: @Werner: you have give the code number in: 4389979# on the Skype keypad [09:36] NicolaGuarino: @werner: there is a dial option in Skype somewhere... [09:37] NicolaGuarino: @werener: it is under the Window menu [09:37] LaureVieu: didn't know i could call with skype, i'll try that next to avoid high fees to my lab [09:38] NicolaGuarino: @Laure: call the US number, most EU numbers don't work with Skype [09:38] LaureVieu: ok thanks [09:38] anonymous morphed into John Gregory [09:39] Werner Kuhn: hmmm, thanks, but if I use the dial pad it calls a new number (with the conf id) [09:39] NicolaGuarino: @Werner: try calling the US number from the Skype pad [09:42] Werner Kuhn: i did call the us number, get connected, but have no place to enter the conf id then [09:43] PeterYim: @Werner: could you refresh the session page and note the updated number - (US): +1-218-844-8060 Conference ID: "4389979#" ... it should prompt you to enter the conferenceID [09:46] Werner Kuhn1: not sure what "it" refers to: the session page on webconf or skype? but I am not being prompted; i can call on a land line, of course [09:47] PeterYim: @Werner - "it" was in reference to the "conference (voice) bridge" [09:48] PeterYim: once you are connected to the bridge, it should prompt you to enter the conferenceID [09:49] Werner Kuhn1: but where do i find the conference (voice) bridge? [09:49] PeterYim: quite a few of the participants are calling in via skype ... but, of course, the land line is fine [09:50] PeterYim: by calling (US): +1-218-844-8060 [09:53] PeterYim: there are some rough edges about keying in the "conference ID" from the sjype keypad - of you run into problem, check this out - http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?VirtualSpeakerSessionTips#nid2OR0 [09:59] PeterYim: @Werner - are you on the voice call yet? [10:05] Werner Kuhn1: yes, i am connected thru a land line, thank you [10:05] PeterYim: Great! [10:16] PeterYim: @Leo - the next time you speak, you might prompt people who are on the call to join us at the chat-room (there are quite a few who aren't in the chat yet) [10:20] LeoObrst: ok, will do. [10:25] anonymous morphed into Gary Berg-Cross [10:29] anonymous morphed into Hasan Sayani [10:30] FabianNeuhaus: number of endorsements < number of advisory committee ??? [10:30] PeterYim: unfortunate! [10:31] JohnBateman: @Fabian: good point; I guess not all the votes are in yet! [10:31] PeterYim: we have closed the endorsement (as of May-19) already [10:33] PeterYim: @Giancarlo - please speak up [10:34] Hasan Sayani: can't hear the speaker [10:34] FabianNeuhaus: @ Peter, John: Maybe we should revisit membership of the advisory committee [10:35] Gary Berg-Cross: What are the mechanisms for joining a SIG like the Conceptual Modeling SIG? [10:36] NicolaGuarino: @Gary: just send a message to the chair(s) [10:37] LaureVieu: @Gary: join the association too! [10:39] PeterYim: @Gary - see: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?IAOA#nid2HWG [10:43] GiancarloGuizzardi: @Gary - please check the SIGs registration page at http://ontolog.cim3.net/mailman/listinfo/iaoa-conceptual-modeling [10:43] GiancarloGuizzardi: @Gary - please also check the previously mentioned workshop at http://www.inf.ufes.br/~gguizzardi/ontocom-2011/ [10:45] Ramdsriram: @Mike -- How are you going to get buy in from organizations such as ISO, OMG, NCBO, etc... [10:49] MichaelGruninger: @Ram: At this stage, we are not looking for "buy in" at an organizational level. We want to focus initially at the different technical groups that are already participating in ISO,OMG, etc and help facilitate and coordinate the applications of ontologies to these efforts [11:00] anonymous morphed into Dalia Varanka [11:01] Gary Berg-Cross: Does IAOA have active involvement with the OOR effort? Does it support building up a usable repository in some way? [11:03] PeterYim: @Gary - you have posed a few very good questions ... would you verbally ask them and try to get a discussion going, please? [11:05] FabianNeuhaus: @ there is overlap between people involved in IAOA and OOR, e.g, Michael, John Bateman, [11:11] JohnBateman: @Gary: The Ontology registry and repository committee is also the structural position within the association where this involvement is anchored. And, as Nicola emphasises, the role is to support OOR activities in general: promoting openness. [11:12] Gary Berg-Cross: I seem to have trouble being heard although the tele voice says that I am un-muted. But Peter is making my point on the value of IAOA having some content that might attract a following. [11:14] Gary Berg-Cross: Connecting this to the SIGs makes sense. [11:17] NicolaGuarino: @all: remember to renew your membership (or to join as new members)! [11:18] PeterYim: -- session ended: 11:18am PDT --
