From: Andrius Kulikauskas (ms@ms.lt)
Date: Wed Apr 05 2000 - 21:14:18 EDT
Just keeping you posted on our laboratory's work towards an
import/export standard. I hope to demonstrate conversion into
Thoughtstream this coming week.
Yours, Andrius Kulikauskas, ms@ms.lt
April 5, 2000. An update from the Minciu Sodas laboratory devoted to
caring about thinking.

Thanks to Our Members!
Call for Participation
***************************************************
Are you a maker or user of software for organizing thoughts? In this
update, we invite you to participate through the Minciu Sodas laboratory
at the standards meeting of the Infrared Data Association, April 11th,
San Francisco, California, USA.
***************************************************
Directional Proposal: "Exploratory IrDAKiss"
***************************************************
Our director, Andrius Kulikauskas, has submitted to the Infrared Data
Association, IrDA, www.irda.org , a directional proposal for the
"Exploratory IrDAKiss" This proposed standard will facilitate
experimentation with the transfer of structured collections of notes and
other expressions of thoughts. Currently, authors suffer whenever the
software they use gets discontinued and they are forced to abandon the
thoughts they have tended. Our standard will allow authors to choose
from a variety of software tools to accumulate, organize, and reflect on
their own thoughts. More generally, this will foster the bundling
together of experiences, in the form of images, text, voice, cash,
applets, and so on. The exchange of such experience packages will be
especially meaningful across Infrared connections, arguably the most
personal way of exchanging electronic information. Infrared is the
wireless technology by which individuals beam information, for example,
from one handheld device to another. This social act may be thought of
as a kiss, an "irdakiss".
Tuesday, April 11th, 1:00-2:00pm, the IrDA Special Interest Group IrFLOW
(Flow of Experiences) will review our directional proposal and vote
whether to recommend to move the document forward. Approval by the
Technical Committee, and by the Board, will open the way for the next
steps, which are approval of draft, and approval of final. Our
laboratory worked to set up IrFLOW, which has the charter to "create an
infrastructure to accumulate, heighten, reflect on and respond to
experiences." A thoughtful format may expand the flow of ideas and
experiences across Infrared connections in the way that HTML has
expanded the movement of documents across the Internet.
If your company is a member of IrDA,
http://www.irda.org/members/members.asp, or if you are a member of
Minciu Sodas, then contact us at ms@ms.lt and we will gladly email you a
copy of our directional proposal. We look forward to your comments, and
if possible, to your attendance at our meeting, which will be at the Sir
Francis Drake Hotel, 450 Powell Street, San Francisco,(415) 392-7755.
Anna Herbert of TheBrain, www.thebrain.com, our sponsoring member, will
attend.

Product Pavilion: What will conversion look like?
***************************************************
All are invited to the IrDA Mobile Communications conference, Thursday,
April 13th, at the Sir Francis Drake Hotel, 450 Powell Street, San
Francisco, (415) 392-7755, at no charge to the public. The Minciu Sodas
laboratory will have a table from 12:30 to 4:30pm, in the Empire room,
where we will display our members' products, including TheBrain,
www.thebrain.com, MindManager, www.mindmanager.com, and Thoughtstream,
http://thoughtstream.org At our table we will demonstrate what
conversion of information between these various products might look
like. We want to attract the interest of makers of user interfaces for
cellular phones, such as Nokia, Ericsson, Motorola, and handheld
devices, such as Palm and Hewlett-Packard.
