*Discussion*

Jeremy noted that the demo is in 6.5 weeks; the group decided on April 7 as a
hard-stop date for development. [ACTION] Jamey will use XCAP to enable eyeBeam
to use presence info to decide whether messages should go straight to 
voicemail.
Jamey is hoping to have this done by April 7. Jeremy has been working with Art
on the server. Jamey has built and installed a test RPM of the demo package.

There was general agreement that we want to have at least one additional UA
besides eyeBeam. [ACTION] Ben T. and Jeremy will work on Session
interoperability testing; Ben T. will schedule a time when Jeff King can
participate. [ACTION] Once Session can register with PALS, Jeremy will 
schedule
Session and eyeBeam testing with Candace.

The group agreed not to include a hard phone in the demo. Joe confirmed that
he can participate in the demo from Ann Arbor. Jeremy noted that Henning will
probably be joining the Member Meeting session via videoconference.

Jamey, Candace, and Bruce had a fruitful conversation about plans for eyeBeam;
Candace took extensive notes, and Jamey forwarded them to the list. See 
Jamey's
March 17 email.
