CONNECT THE WORLD WITH MERLIN UPDATE #5
May 24, 1996
  
Dear Merlin volunteers,
  
As we like to say around the space center in Florida:  
  
     "IT'S A GO!"
  
The "Connect the World with Merlin" project is definitely on!
This past week we finally received the blessings and support from 
IBM.  Our project will be an important part of the launch of Merlin 
later this year.
  
We have been able to make contact with the Merlin Launch Manager
in Austin, Texas, and the PSP Marketing Manager in Toronto.  They
assure us that Wally Casey has reviewed the project and is in
support of it.
  
PROJECT STATUS
  
1.  Based on the feedback we received from the volunteers in 
    response to our last update and based on talks with IBM,
    it looks like the September 21st date will not be viable.
  
    According to our Israeli and Jewish  volunteers, the 
    September 21st date would conflict with their religious 
    holidays and make it difficult for them to participate.
  
    We are still working with IBM to finalize a date.  In 
    all likelihood, it will be sometime in October.
  
2.  With October as our target, we can now work backwards
    to establish a timetable of events.  
  
    SATURDAY, AUGUST 31ST - DEADLINE FOR PROJECT REGISTRATION
  
    All volunteers for this project must be registered by this
    date, and must include registration of the demonstration
    site.  This is needed for two purposes:  to ship promotional
    items to the site, and; to advertise the location of the
    demonstrations.
  
    Details for registration will be included in the upcoming
    Script...
  
3.  To do all of this, we will need a script which I am currently
    working on and will deliver in June (via E-mail).  The script
    will be implemented as both an INF file (for use with the 
    standard OS/2 VIEW utility; VIEW.EXE) and as a set of HTML
    files for use with your web browser (e.g., WebExplorer).
  
    The outline of the script includes:
  
    a.  Introduction
        - Purpose & background
        - Stress professional image
        - Merlin description
    b.  Preparations
        - Hardware/software requirements (getting from IBM);
          includes audio/video, and microphone for
          presentation.
        - Site selection - stores and universities
          - Form for computer store
        - Checklist/registration form to indicate site is ready.
    c.  Personnel requirements
        - Country coordinator/state coordinator
        - Site Manager
        - Presenter
        - Technical Support
        - Press Relations
    d.  Script
        - Set-up
        - Login procedure
        - Dress rehearsal/test
        - Presentation
          What should be demonstrated?
              - Installation (NO!)
              - Multitasking
              - Multithreading
              - Speech support
              - Internet & Java support
              - Native OS/2 apps (Lotus)
              - DOS & Windows apps under OS/2
  
    It is not my intention of write a regimented and inflexible
    script.  I realize there is going to be a certain amount
    of custom tailoring for your local area.
  
    Other notes:
  
    a.  IBM has indicated that Lotus will have new software
        ready for us to incorporate into the demonstration.
  
    b.  For the Internet session, please provide me with a
        list of your FAVORITE web sites.  Although I have
        my own particular favorites, please consider those
        sites that the average/novice/local user might find
        interesting (something with flashy graphics for
        instance).
  
    c.  As you can see from the script, we do not intend
        to demonstrate the installation of Merlin during
        the main presentation.  If necessary, this can
        be done separately for technicians later.
  
    d.  Also, please let me know:
  
        - Your favorite native OS/2 apps to demonstrate.
        - Your favorite DOS and Windows apps to demonstrate
          under WIN-OS/2.
        - Ideas/tips to demonstrate the product.
  
        Please keep your demo ideas:  elegantly simple, effective,
        and universally applicable (for all countries).
  
4.  I am now being asked:  "What can we do at the local level?"
  
    a.  NOW IS THE TIME TO START SOLICITING VOLUNTEERS FROM YOUR
        AREA.  Although we have made a great start in terms of
        volunteers, we now have to generate even more interest
        in the project.  As an example, members of our Tampa Bay 
        OS/2 Users' Group (TBOUG) met this past week to discuss
        the project, form a "swat team" of volunteers, and discuss
        site selections for the demonstration.  You should be
        doing this now at the local level (particularly since the
        summer vacation/holiday break is not far away).
  
        To assist in this area, I am working with IBM to develop
        a comprehensive e-mail list of user groups and Team OS/2
        personnel.  From this, we will then e-mail them details 
        of the project and solicit their support.  Unfortunately,
        many of our existing volunteers will receive this notice
        (sorry);  PLEASE NOTE, IT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY FOR YOU 
        TO RE-REGISTER FOR THE PROJECT.  However, you may want to 
        pass along the note to an interested party.  Better yet,
        place the notice in your user group newsletter.
  
        We will also post the notice throughout the Internet.
  
    b.  NOW IS THE TIME TO START SELECTING SITES FOR THE
        DEMONSTRATION.  From the outset of this project, we have 
        targeted computer super stores.  Although a lot of this will
        be covered in the upcoming script, when you select a site
        you must consider "traffic" (volume of people attending).
        Within TBOUG, we are targeting the larger computer super
        stores and universities.  There may be other local
        institutions you may wish to consider also.
  
    c.  FOR COUNTRIES AND SOME OF THE LARGER STATES/PROVINCES,
        YOU MAY WANT TO APPOINT A COUNTRY OR STATE COORDINATOR
        to help coordinate the demonstrations within a local
        region.  The "Coordinator" could be helpful for orchestrating
        special demo features at the local level.  For example,
        within the Tampa Bay area we are planning to communicate
        between the demonstration sites via Internet telephone.
  
        Geographical areas who should consider such a coordinator
        include:
  
        Australia (particularly New South Wales)
        New Zealand
        (Australasia perhaps?)
  
        Canada (particularly Ontario)
  
        South Africa
  
        Germany
        United Kingdom
        (perhaps a European Coordinator?)
  
        California
        Florida
        New York
        Ohio
        Texas
  
        (This list is based on the number of volunteers who have
        already registered with us).
  
        Please discuss this among the volunteers in your area and 
        let me know if you would like to serve in this capacity.
  
5.  As part of our discussions with IBM, I have assembled a
    mock-up of the Web page so they could visualize what we
    want to accomplish.
  
    As you know, we want to build a map showing where OS/2
    is being demonstrated.  This can be accomplished three ways:
  
    a.  STATIC MAP - because of the August 31st deadline, we
        will know the location of all of the sites.  We could,
        therefore, have the map ready in advance.
  
    b.  MAP UPDATED MANUALLY - during the day of the event,
        someone could be watching the logins and update the
        map accordingly.
  
    c.  DYNAMIC MAP - automatically updated with each
        login registration.
  
    Obviously, alternative-C is what we would like but we
    currently do not have the technical skills to implement
    this approach.  Alternative-A would be the easiest for
    us to implement but may lack the "pizzazz" we are
    looking for.  Alternative-B is a nice compromise but
    labor intensive during the event.
  
    DO ANY OF THE VOLUNTEERS HAVE THE TECHNICAL EXPERTISE TO
    IMPLEMENT ALTERNATIVE-C?  If so, please let me know
    as soon as possible.
  
6.  Our "Connect the World with Merlin" logo as designed by Algis 
    Zakarauskas of Winston Hills, NSW, Australia (algis01@ibm.net)
    received rave reviews from the volunteers and IBM alike.
    Algis is refining the logo based on the comments received and
    working on an animated version.
  
7.  Other areas we are considering:
  
    - Security (to safeguard against MS gremlins).
  
    - Back-up/contingency planning.
  
8.  Attached, you will find a ZIP file containing an updated
    E-Mail list and Telephone Directory.
  
    Again, please e-mail me any changes or corrections.
  
    Since our last update, we would like to welcome volunteers
    from Indonesia, Costa Rica, and the Czech Republic.
  
    This puts us at 23 countries participating in the project.
    However, we are looking for volunteers specifically from
    Italy, Brazil, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and China.
  
9.  Miscellaneous notes:
  
    a.  Rumor has it that the actual launch of Merlin will be
        somewhere in Europe, not in the USA.  The actual site
        has not yet been announced by IBM.
  
    b.  The "Merlin" name will most likely not be associated
        with the final release of the product (due to trademarks).
        No news on the final product name yet.
  
    c.  The Merlin beta program hasn't started yet.  A special
        advanced program for ISV's should begin next week with
        the general beta-test beginning in mid-June.
  
    d.  Don't forget - a volunteer registration sign-up sheet for the 
        event has been added to the Web/HTML version of our OS/2 CONNECT 
        newsletter at:
  
        http://warp.eecs.berkeley.edu/os2/connect/
  
        or, more specifically, the volunteer registration sheet is at:
  
        http://warp.eecs.berkeley.edu/os2/connect/review.html
  
That's all for now.  I'll keep you abreast of developments
as they occur.  Stay tuned!
  
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
