Notes

Traction

Dean chastises folks who haven't yet replied, asking again for everyone's "Quick VRM Vision" to kickstart the vision committee meeting.

Deb reports on language that is working and not working. Notably, the name VRM is hard to understand for a few people. A lot of people get excited, but wonder how we are going to actually get to something so complicated. We still need a "What is VRM?".

Doc apologizes for holidays and snow and other obligations, with promises for much more activity soon.

Tell Me.Com

http://www.tellme.com "Say what you want and get it." This is a voice-based service built around VoiceXML. Doc reports conversations with these guys, including verification that although Microsoft owned, they are not locked into Microsoft-only solutions.

Presentation

For conversations and presentations, it would be great to have a standard, shared powerpoint that that we can all coordinate our language when evangelizing VRM to different audiences.

EU Identity Conference

We have a full-day set aside for us to coordinate a session prior to the traditional conference. There's an agreement that the first day makes sense as an unconference.

There is also at least one slot in the traditional conference for one or more of us to spread the work for VRM.
