Samir asked Jill if she was still willing to give her presentation to
students at C.G.U. on the 24th of November.  Jill agreed and asked to
setup a date for testing between U.A.B. and C.G.U.

Samir provided his review of the NSF MWIR meeting.  Much of the time was
spent on the Grid Center.

Nadim provided a review of the discussion on "Next Steps" for video
(VidMid-VC).  He said there was no consensus on what the next step
should be, though there were some suggestions.  It was asked whether or
not we need Shibboleth for Videoconferencing.  That question has not yet
been answered.  Someone also suggested doing something similar to the
'vcard' but for videoconferencing; the 'vconf'.

Jill mentioned that we will not have the full-blown "Next Steps"
discussion with Tyler absent.  She said to push this item to the next
meeting's agenda.

Jill said that Jason had reorganized the cookbook and that it is now
online.

Samir provided a couple of ideas for "Next Steps" for this group.  His
first idea was to develop with the Open Source Proxy.  The next idea was
to explore the security with a project called MySIP, a small, portable
SIP architecture over a wireless laptop connection.

Samir also said that C.G.U. has received the Wave3 MCU but that they
have not installed it yet as it is a very large installation.  He also
mentioned that Session currently only supports Wavelet codecs.

C.G.U. is also interested in Ubiquity Software's Audio conferencing and
bridging product.  They agreed to give C.G.U. the software but the audio
mixing is done in expensive hardware that is provided by an outsource.

C.G.U. would also like to test interoperability with the RADVISION SIP
MCU.  U.N.C. has this product and Nadim is to provide the IP address and
other connection information to Samir.

Samir has contacted IPFreedom in the hopes of acquiring the product to
test the traversal of NAT/Firewall, but has not received a response from
them.  Jill said that Tyler or Bob Dixon would be the people to contact
on this matter.  Nadim said that Tyler knows a guy from Ridgeway.  He
also said that the software was very expensive.

Jill had heard from Polycom that they do, in fact, support SSL on the
management port, though she has not seen this yet.
