[john-w...@novartis.com]

Source Software Initiative.doc) as a draft for the VC agenda. please
take a look and either modify or email me your thoughts.

Looks good John. Suggest we add next steps & timelines to the general
discussion.

[ted.m...@novartis.com]

The agenda looks good for me as well, but I agree on us suggesting some topics for the discussion session.  Here's a couple:

• Are there enough synergies between the various groups' goals that would suggest it makes sense for any of these efforts to be combined?
• Are there any additional similar efforts that people in this meeting are aware of whom we should also be contacting?

On another note, Dieter Speidel has agreed to give a presentation on SiLA, so we can "ink" him in.  Also, I moved the meeting location to 220 Mass Ave, Room 518 to ensure we have VC capabilities (even though we may just use Webex and teleconference with the multiple sites dialing in).  I'll update the invite in Notes to reflect the room change.

Best,
Ted
