Elliott, David DeWolfe, Eric, and Peter met and changed uPortal 3 over to Pluto 1.1 (a significant change). Got abot about 25,000 lines smaller because 1.1 had those things built in.

[[Powerpoint and code sample available in as attachments to the wiki page for this meeting session]]
The session for tomorrow on XML import/export for uportal 2 using Cernunnos, was moved from Tuesday to Monday, as it is closely related to what we were discussing before lunch.
...
Drew is representing most stuff except "users" and various minor things.
He uses Cernunnos which he made, and which lives in Google Code. "provides flexible Java implementations for common behaviors and allows them to be used with a common XML syntax".

Going out under GPLOur angle
What is Unicon's angle?
Healthier JA-SIG projects _> lead to more adoption -> which leads to wider customer base
Now that it's open source, others may fix bugs, answer questions

- Cheap easy and fun
- SVN source control
- Issue tracker
- Wiki
- Downloads
- Online account management
Andrew reviewed the various channels

Email preview channel -- currently replays the password, will CASify this. Peter has got involved a bit. -- Andreas Christoforides, and Mark McClellan.
