Before the holidays, Ed Berard asked me to post something to this group outlining what the Object Management Group is. To those of you who have already heard of us (or represent members) I apologize in advance. The Object Management Group, Inc. is a not-for-profit computer industry consortium working on agreements between member companies in all aspects of object-oriented applications software, both development and execution. The purpose of the OMG is to develop object-oriented applications standards, promulgate these standards throughout the industry, foster the development of compatible tools and products, and promote the understanding and use of object-oriented software production. The OMG Technical Committee, composed of representatives of member companies, is developing standards in this area based on actual existing implementations. The TC meets every six weeks, all over the world (current members are in North America, Europe and Asia). Membership is two-tiered: Corporate Members drive the organization, via voting power and the right to propose new technology for standardization; Associate Members have a voice in the process but no vote. Membership fees are based on annual revenue or budget, and range from $500 to $50,000 annually. The Corporate membership now includes 3Com, AT&T, Groupe Bull, Canon, Data General, Gold Hill Computers, Hewlett-Packard, Mentor Graphics, Netwise, Nixdorf Computer, Object Sciences, Philips TDS, Prime Computer, Sun MicroSystems, Unisys and The Whitewater Group. The forty-plus Associate members include the University of Colorado, MCC, American Airlines, Object Design, Objectivity, Aion, Borland, Eastman Kodak and Sequent. The Group has informal relationships with X3 and OSF, and a formal advisory relationship to X/Open. My name is Dr. Richard Soley; I am the Vice President and Technical Director of the OMG. If you or your company has any interest in joining us, please feel free to email, call, fax or write for more information: Richard Mark Soley, Ph.D. Vice President, Technical Director Object Management Group, Inc. 33 Lyman Street, Suite 202 Westboro, Massachusetts 01581 Telephone: (508) 898-9690 Facsimile: (508) 836-3703 Domain: soley@mc.lcs.mit.edu

The Object Management Group, formed in April 1989, is alive and quite well, with about 85 members to date (latest corporate members: Teknekron, Apple Computer, ParcPlace Systems, Intellicorp, DEC). OMG has completed its first deliverable, and is already in full swing in the technology adoption process. The UK office is open and operating; the ObjectWorld subsidiary (of OMG and ANSA) is about to offer courseware and is planning a conference. Feel free to call for information. -- Richard Soley Vice President and Technical Director Object Management Group, Inc. Tel: +1-508-820 4300 Fax: +1-508-820 4303 Net: soley@omg.org
