*Discussion*

SMM task list
- Setup 4 chat rooms
- How will we create accounts? Use federated id? Possibly use campus
identity management?
- Do we need a help desk? Maybe just manned table near registration for
the first couple of days.
- Should we use a web based client? Use jw-chat or jeti? Come up with the
top 2 possibilities.
- Should we have a handout available? If so, where? At the registration
desk or the PIC table?
- How should we market the demo?  Get details about the demo
prepared for SMM document inclusion.
[ACTION] (2/6) Deke will put together group collaboration for
content
- Sponsorship issues; How can institutions participate? Could/should
Internet2 take on the role of
creating a Jabber accounts?  Who is providing the server? 
Someone needs to take on enabling
presence service, who? 
[ACTION] Elaine to talk to Ellen Vaughan about the possiblity of a
corporate member donating
equipment for a PIC server.  Maybe Google who is already a member
otherwise maybe approach
Jabber.com. Elaine will investigate but a proposal needs to be written up
for Ellen to approach
a corporate member so she understands the project scope.
[ACTION] Internet2 tech support discuss with group how we'll set up shib
accounts for the SMM.
