No tcon due to AHM

2008-01-03

• Attendees: Jim, Steve, Will, Brad Davis
• Topics:
  • Jim and Will talked about leading the Monday and Friday sessions, and who would do what.
  • We are going to send out reminders to the project leads to ensure that their project descriptions are up to date
  • We discussed the software process project to make sure that we have a chance to address the Slicer build process, dashboards, etc.
  • We decided not to hold the project wrap-up presentation at AHM; we will do that later at subsequent TCons. (We decided that we needed the time to actually work. We are concerned that we are starting to see too many break-outs and not enough time to work.)
  • We keenly missed Tina and hope that she and her family are doing well.
