WR: Karyn Evans, Janine Ferarese, Lou Hamm, Robert Welsh, Bruce Swartz, Dan Rivers, Mark Brindel, Jessica Villanueva, & Dianne Osborne (calling from home)

Note before the topics were covered from the agenda:
OSM is experiencing key server problems.  Dan Rivers has placed a call to Bill Kannawin.  Bill is checking on the system remotely.  There is instability in the access to the internet server – ESN.  IT has received several reports about key servers being down as well as licensing issues. 

Priority Item
TOPIC: Budget data call for FY2007
DISCUSSION: Make sure that you add software maintenance in the budget data call.  In the project field of the spreadsheet be as specific as possible in what you need.  If Mobile Computing items are needed they need to get that information to Robert Welsh.  All of the teams need to get together and meet about what their needs are for the new fiscal year. 

Course development needs to go to Karyn Evans.

This deadline happens every year and there is not enough time to complete the Budget needs.  Due to the FBMS Implementation, this has to be done sooner than last year.  There will be NO WISH LISTS this year because there is a flat budget.  If you need more or less money, please notify Lou.

Review action/pending items from last meeting
TOPIC: TIPS Newsletter
DISCUSSION: Some really great news articles have been arriving.  The Newsletter is expected to come out in the next three to four weeks.  This will be a quarterly publication

Status Reports
TOPIC: Tasks from the Breckenridge Team Meeting
DISCUSSION: Lou went over the spreadsheet that was sent our prior to the meeting. 

Other items that were discussed:
Robert Welsh – please accept the invitation for the Mobile Computing BLOG.  Prototype – blogger.com
