- Continue brainstorming 2008-2009 projects.
- Discussed the joint open call regarding R2 presentation
- Prepare for Voyager 7 upgrade. How can this group participate? Make sure everyday actions work properly. Target the release notes.
- Rework the survey to get ideas for training needs
- Looking through “Support requests” could be a tedious venture. Not a good use of time and energy for the amount of return.
- Sharon will prepare an outline of major tasks and pass along to the group.
- New Business:
- Planning for October open conference call:
- Focus on R2 presentation follow-up during call
- Since this will be a larger conference call audience, we will request registration. Announcement should go out soon and Sharon will draft a description.
