FW: Notes and background stuff

I have tried, I have pushed them around, but I have not been
able to do better than Bob Smith’s unfiltered notes from the meeting 3
weeks ago.

 

Enjoy

Subject: Notes and background stuff

 

Hi
Toby,

 

My
notes (that were just jotted down on paper as I was listening to the fast paced
discussions) are presented below.

 

Several
graphics were shown on the website, plus I did a bit of exploring deeper into
what these NBIMS folk have been doing. Screen shots of both are attached as
oBIX_NBIMS_Notes*.doc.

 

Maybe
a phone call could clarify any difference between what you heard and what I was
able to capture informally.

 

Also,
I logged onto the Chat Log towards the very end, but I wonder if you could
obtain a copy form the organizers it would be helpful. (Attached as

Cheers,

 

Bob
