i had lunch with richard m. soley, OMG chairman, on tuesday. he took me to a great chinese place in cambridge, and started to explain how he had built up OMG as a non-profit company that has reinvented itself around objects, CORBA, UML and most recently MDA. OMG organizes conferences and workshops as a means to drive adoption and consensus around areas ripe for standardization. i very much enjoyed richards insights into the conference circuit, and his advice for OSCOM. maybe there is some common ground in the future?
richard also was one of the first developers of emacs, shares the RMS initials with the other richard, and was at MIT at the same time.
