Minutes from 9-19-2008 Conference Call

  • Need for more time aside for technical people? Might be some issues getting the requirements crowd to speak up.
  • The agenda seems to be flexible enough to allow breakout sessions if necessary.
  • 2.X vs 3.0 solutions and time tables need to be explained. We should build a pro/con table of each option, and decide if our main focus will be on short term, long term, or both (a fix for 2.X, a complete deployment for 3.0).
  • Institutions should identify when these solutions would be locally implemented. Would set expectations better.

Logistics:

  • We have drinks but no food.
  • Nametags, tents, flipcharts.
  • Need a local pub with wifi.
