December 17, 2007 Meeting
Present: Lynn, Dan, Julie
After discussing some of the resources we'd compiled (most are included under the Resources section of this wiki), we agreed that our next step should be to generate a list of what we're looking for in a new ILS.

We will raise these questions at the All Staff meeting on December 20. Julie will follow up with an email t]]> Tue, 18 Dec 2007 10:23:57 +0000 mod http://ossfbml.pbwiki.com/Resources email.hidden@example.com (Julie Gilbert) Julie Gilbert edited Resources Includes information about the conference with handouts.
