Dear SGML Users Group:

The next meeting of the Washington Area SGML Users Group is
scheduled for Wednesday August 19, 1998 at the American
Geophysical Union (AGU) at 2000 Florida Avenuw, N.W.,
Washington, DC 20009-1277. The meeting starts at 7:00 p.m.
and usually lasts approximately 2 hours. If attending the
meeting by Metro, get off the Dupont Circle stop and walk
north to Florida Avenue...turn right.

IMPORTANT:  The doors at AGU are locked afterhours.  Someone
is at the door until 7:30 to let people in.  If you arrive               
after 7:30, please wait a few minutes and someone will check
the doors periodically.

AUGUST AGENDA:
Ed Wagner from Engineering Notebook:  Icebreaker

  Icebreaker is desktop software that enables the project
  director at a manufacturing, pharmaceutical, or chemical
  company to develop a shared Smart Notebook using standard
  personal computers, existing networks, and the Internet.

  The Smart Notebook (also referred to as a virtual
  technical notebook) is used to package, distribute, and
  receive feedback about engineering, manufacturing, and
  related business information throughout a company's
  engineering organization or extended enterprise.       
  Icebreaker may be used by:

  1.  Project managers to lower the cost and pain of
  collecting, managing and communicating product and
  project information with a project team and throughout
  an organization;
  2.  Individual scientists and engineers to effectively
  collect, manage and communicate their intellectual
  property;
  3.  Operational and supply-side managers to improve the
  dialog and communications with their suppliers;
  4.  Maintenance and field managers to improve the dialog
  and communications with their field organizations.

  They will show examples from Polaroid, US Surgical, Chiron
  Diagnostics, Cooper Industries, and others.          

  Icebreaker is collaborating with i4i to make SGML and XML-
  based documentation available within the Smart Notebook to
  allow end-users to integrate critical documents with other
  project information already represented within the
  electronic notebook.

is located on T street, across from the Hilton.
