1. (20 minutes) Status/Announcements
     * Hiring status

Were very nearly fully staffed fro the first time in a long while.

     * Project DB update + training

Been getting a few new suggestions from recent use of the PDB.
With other work and resources being as they are, a big initiative
for the project database makes little sense at this time.  Instead
we're going to make an inventory of what we know.  Maybe do some
requirements analysis, wish list making, etc.
Bill and Mike are going to hold a meeting to kick off this activity.

     * ITLT update, including purpose and meeting practices


     * Project Mgmt.Institute and local SIG news

They moved so our enrollment was delayed.
Bill and Lorraine attended the PMI dinner at the Aquarium.

     * Updating Delivery Process Map for project "decommisioning" and
     package software acquisition

A get-together for lunch or a party of some sort is a really good thing
to have as a project transition activity.

2. (75 Minutes) Five Year Plan Discussion

Did a group discussion of how and what of IS. The notes will be sent out
in a separate message.

3. (20 minutes) Abbreviated Roundtable

Most of the folks just passed.
Other items were really quick and blew by before I could transcribe them.

Reid is getting together with Pete Kelley on W91 server issues.



4. Topics for next meetings. Updated Delivery Goals?
