Re: [WG-UMA] Offering an "UMAnitarian APAC sync" meeting

Okay, I'll book an every-month cadence (with week-out shifts on any weeks where I'm traveling and can't make it) and announce it on the list. I will probably select 4pm Pacific and -- as usual -- make Pacific time the constant even when daylight savings time messes things up... Expect to see that by end of this week. The primary goal will be APAC sync on all topics of interest, so those attending from this region will get first priority in adding agenda items. More use cases are always welcome! I've actually been meaning to point to the HEART use cases from our http://tinyurl.com/umacase page for a while now, and I've got a huge and growing collection based on my "day job work" (the particulars of which I unfortunately can't always share). *Eve Maler*Cell +1 425.345.6756 | Skype: xmlgrrl | Twitter: @xmlgrrl On Fri, Sep 2, 2016 at 12:31 AM, Adrian Gropper wrote:

Hi Paul,

I too am interested in the business aspects and would love to exchange notes.

About 6 years ago, we did a lot of work and selling to the major national sports franchisers of a way to manage player health records across travel, trades, union negotiations, etc... It's a cool use-case for UMA.

Hi Eve

Was great to meet you face-to-face too and glad you enjoyed the trip. I'd be keen to perhaps hook in once a month.

I'd like to contribute more than I am at the moment. My issue is that I am really from the business rather than the technical or legal side, so not sure how I can really help. I feel where behind in the knowledge stakes on the calls.

Perhaps scenario analysis might be an area I can assist?

I can do times between 2pm PT and 4am PT - unfortunately your 8am PT meetings are 1am Sydney time, so a bit of a barrier for me. Mon, Tues, Wed, or Thurs are all pretty good with the caveat of as long as I am not traveling - which is quite often :-(

Just came back from a lunch where I was telling a sport's IT team why UMA was important to them from a commercial perspective and a privacy perspective. Quite a fun discussion. I think a couple of light bulbs went on.

Regards Paul...

Hi folks-- After having a chance to meet several UMAnitarians face-to-face while in Australia recently (and what a good time that was), I was reminded that we hadn't held an "APAC sync" meeting in quite a while. So I thought I'd offer up the chance to hold one again -- if not regularly (we had a fortnightly meeting series that went for a long while, but then it petered out), then perhaps just an ad hoc one to give people a chance to catch up and weigh in on all the stuff going on.

For all those in the southern hemisphere who might be interested but can't normally join our meetings, can you drop me a private note by the end of this week and let me know:

- Are you interested in technical topics (e.g. our current spec wrangling), legal topics (e.g. the primer and "model clause" work), or both? - What days/time ranges are best for you? Please indicate your time zone - If you had the chance to attend sync meetings regularly, would you? - No, c'mon really, would you? Be honest -- this is for posterity :-)

I'll figure out what's what, and if there's enough interest, I'll set something up...
