Jamey Update:

  * Web portal for presence; MySQL; Jabber GW that subscribes to every
user's presence

  * Location data from passive "skiffs"; either custom StrongARM
    platform or iPAQ in socks

  * also IR location beacons, but fewer and fewer laptops have IR
    these days

  * 2 possibilities for publishing presence : 1) through web portal;
    2) through client integration (eg. SOAP)

  * Suggestion for flexibility: clients allowed to get or set location
    data

  * optimistic that skiffs will be working in time, but we have to
    plan for good demo even if they are not

Discussion Jamey/Xiaotaow :

  * enhancing sipc to retrieve location (draft-...) via HTTP get;

  * will spec'd HTTP get and send out (eg. to give WaveThree a chance
    to implement it too)

  * How do clients learn location-calendaring service location?  SRV?
    No, let's not require cooperation of YASA from Indiana; will
    hard-code via config

Ben/Artem will do stand-alone location->calendar augmenter script;

Jamey to identify HP staffer to bring up presence portal on
ser.uits.indiana.edu authenticating by IP address found in SER
location DB
  * Need to fix DHCP/REGISTER lease mis-match!

Ben will find out about Indy Marriot network build windows

Artem update on user self-registration CGI

Ben Update 

  * OK to wack people's credit cards for $5 for headsets 

  * CGI development in progress

  * Ben to buy 100-200 headsets

  * Joe to get back to Ben with recommended vendor

Jiri Update

  * bug: cannot skip domain names on serctl alias; working at fixing; 

  * sent example of adding user to system; can add users to MySQL
    directly, but not aliases; Ben needs to send this example to Artem

  * Jiri to fix ser.cfg to perform alias lookup for everything (not
    just URIs that look like phone numbers)

eDial Record-Route problem: either make eDial fix their bug or educate
users not to use TCP
