Project Membership
-	Mike Silverstein from SilverMark is keen to become more involved, and
Kent Siefkes has recommended that Mike?s contact details are added to
Hyades-team. Mike will then be invited to join the calls.
-	A point was raised regarding participation in Hyades by member
companies. Currently IBM and Rational, Scapa Technologies, SAP and FOKUS
are attending and contributing to team meetings.
-	Clarification is needed on proposed contribution from Telelogic and
Parasoft.
-	It was suggested that a time limit should be established for
participation and contribution by member companies.
-	ACTION ? Mike to call Telelogic and Parasoft to discuss their commitment
to the project within a couple of weeks time, and report back to the team.
-	Project needs to be divided into pieces that will help smaller members
to get involved more easily

company is contributing which piece(s) of the project.

difficulties with Webex sessions, that the screen takes a long time to
update

FOKUS and Webex
-	Important to try to facilitate entrance to project for new members, as
the structure can seem daunting
Face-to-Face Meeting

The feeling is that it is probably not the right moment to hold a meeting.
