notes from 1/29:

Cookbook

- motivation [Tim]

- Open Fire documentation [Mark will make sure it's up to date]

- client recommendation page [Rodney]

- upload to the Internet2 wiki (paste without formatting text) [Mark]

- upload will be completed by 2/5

- 2/12 first draft of cookbook should be ready

- try to package what UPenn has, then ask others to fill in the holes

- have the cookbook repackaged by the Internet2 SMM 

- look at the document Rodney put together for NeAT, feel free to use as much as text as we want [Rodney resent doc]

Website update

- pic.edu distribution

- get rid of expired information

- Deke sent info last week [elaine have posted to website]

- think about other projects that would be of interest to the community, bring to the group

for discussion then post to the website.

SMM

- rooms names are the same as last year's SMM [Jorj to revise if necessary]

- submit a request for side meeting for late afternoon [Elaine]

- side meeting session should have a mic in the room 

- Rodney would like participate if we meet late afternoon.

**look into USB Chat50 speakerphone (we could use for future meetings too) [Elaine]

** use Second LIfe as the virtual meeting space? (would be a high degree of difficulty)

** remote participants will be few

Potential partnerships:

- Shibboleth  [Tim leading discussion]

* is this a direction we'd like to move to?

* have discussion during the SMM

* who should we invite someone to join a call? Scott Cantor or Steve Carmody?

* Scott Logan from Stanford Co-manage package (Deke and Tim had a conversation with him)

* what are the advantages we'd hope to get from it?

* good discussion for SMM but not a priority at this time

- We'll meet next Thursday 2/5 to make sure that the Cookbook tasks are getting

done.  After that we may meet every other week.
