Our quarterly chapter meeting will be held from 10:00AM -1200PM on Tuesday, May 22, 2007 at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel, 2660 Woodley Rd NW, WDC 20008, and meeting in the Cotillion room. (Flyer attached)

We will have two speakers, Eric O'Neill and Randall Jackson. A synopsis of each presentation:

In February 2001, O'Neill helped capture the most notorious spy in United States history, Robert Phillip Hanssen. In the two months preceding Hanssen's arrest, O'Neill was selected to work with the spy within the newly minted information assurance division, created to protect all classified FBI intelligence. O'Neill was charged with gaining Hanssen's trust and then using that relationship to slowly draw the traitor out of deep cover. Engaged in a lethal game of spy-versus-spy, O'Neill found himself fighting to bring down Hanssen.

Mark Logic's presentation will cover the XML Content Server in use at the world's largest intelligence agencies as well as global publishers. The objective is to share information across many systems in real time and on any device. Agencies have vast amounts of information and need to do more than "locate" documents. The goal is to conduct real time queries and analysis and get back a synthesized custom summary of information in a single screen from many different sources. You can imagine an officer swiping someone's license and getting a complete summary from NCIC and SSN databases on a single handheld screen. Law enforcement analysts can interact with their content with millisecond response times creating new intelligence products like case management reports, threat assessments, criminal trails and field intelligence analysis all from multiple systems.

Please feel free to pass the meeting details to anyone you think might be interested in joining the chapter. Post the flyer. Every member who brings a guest is eligible to win a Starbucks gift card and the member who brings the most guests will automatically receive a Starbucks gift card.

On behalf of the board, we look forward to seeing you Tuesday, May 22nd!

Regards, Darric
