["Kevin Haaland" <Kevin_Haaland@xxxxxxx>]

Meeting notes 11/03

*** General ***

2.0.2
      -     Done. Developers felt that this release
            dragged on too long.

2.1
      - Milestone 3:

            We hope to declare success Friday morning.

      - Milestone 4:

            We will focus on performance in this milestone.

            Jeff will lead the effort and he will get support from
            one person from each component team.

            In support of this effort, please do not forgot to tag
            performance related bugs with the "performance" keyword
            in Bugzilla.

            Make sure your milestone plans are up to date


      - Milestone 5: is planned for February 7th.
