Jeff McAffer (IBM, OTI Labs - Ottawa)
Pascal Rapicault (IBM, OTI Labs - Ottawa)

It's hard to summarize the meeting in that it has mainly been an
introductory meeting to state the equinox context, present the main work
areas, and give everybody an understanding of where we are going and in
which conditions.

The main talk was to state terminology and clearly separate the issues that
equinox addresses (see presentation for more details), and also understand
what the interests of the different parties are.

At the end of the presentation, everybody was asked to think about the items
they want to commit to, and give them back to the community.

We already know that:

- Keith is interested in plug-in "enablement"
- Olivier is interested in OSGi, and API
- Woody is interested in understanding the consequences
  of the UI plug-in deactivation
- Martin is interested in filling the alternate runtime
  page with JMX info and gives us more details about his use case.
- Mel is interested in API, deactivation mechanism, security, and
implication of enablement/disablement on PlatformConfiguration
- Pascal is interested in API, deactivation mechanism, top-level plug-in
deactivation,
- Jeff is interested all aspects
