===== potential November All Hands meeting =====

    - discussed lightly, but asking officially
    - SURFnet indicates that they could provide meeting space close to an airport (and easy for us as we are almost all from NL)
    - vote now or via email by 1 Sep

Decision:

We will *NOT* hold an all hands meeting in November 2010.

We will hold another MT telecon in the mid-November timeframe.

We will push the all hands meeting to late January or early February 2011.

===== use of wiki =====

    - it is filling up quickly
    - lots of stuff

===== monthly reports (via wiki) =====

    - there is a template for the monthly report up 
    - outline for first month report is up
    - it is in the protected section, if you can not access, let me know


Note that the template for the report has some problems with fixed links.  

===== deliverables =====
    - WP kickoffs
    - also done via wiki
    - please let CHARLES do all edits on this (curr, permissions are prob open)



===== pre-financing =====

    - as mentioned, i have ~1.5M Euro.  There are many houses in the neighborhood that are more expensive that this.  Don't tempt me to start negotiating.





===== mailing lists =====
    - you are all on the nexpres-activity@ list.  if you have not been receiving those emails, please let me know.


Note that a snapshot in time of mailing list membership is kept via: 

[[nexpres:project#contact_lists|http://www.jive.nl/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=nexpres:project#contact_lists]]

This snapshot is made manually and will almost certainly be out of date.  As the lists hold email addresses, you will need to log in to see the details.

===== next call =====

    - mid-November?  A quick call prior to the face-to-face

decided against the november all hands meeting, but agreed to another telecon at that time.
