AGENDA
------

* Walk Through
        - Professor Oman wants to attend, so we need to coordinate
          schedules with him.
        - This WT will be more formal than the last one.
        - We need to review the features and requirements.
          (include completed/uncompleted/additional features)
        - We need to cover our testing procedures.
          - show automated tests
          - discuss results
          - present number of tests run, passed, etc.
          - show a current defect graph
        - Then show the functional demo.
        - Professor Junk asked if there were any additional points
          we wanted to make to our customer.  Jamie replied that
          we want to go over which requirements were complete and
          which weren't and whether they would be in the future.
        - Professor Junk said we should have an overall plan for
          the remainder of the semester.
                This includes:
                  - alpha/beta release dates
                  - alpha/beta release strategies
                  - final demo date
                  - design expo plan
        - Jamie explained that we plan on freezing our code next
          Monday or Tuesday.

* Testing plan
 
        - Jamie explained that we may use a Cathedral-vs-Bazaar
          testing approach.  We will be moving from the cathedral
          side to the bazaar side where the users help with the
          software.  Jamie put a hard-copy explaining this
          method in Professor Junk's box.
        - Jamie said that we want internet-wide testing/support.
        - Professor Junk said to be careful because this may cause
          unhappy testers.
        - This is something to work out with Don Tobin and Professor
          Frincke.

* Pre-Walk Through

        - We will give an introduction/reintroduction
        - The product will be set up to run.
          * Professor Junk noted that we need to be prepared
            to explain why we didn't show the installation and
            show it if necessary.
        - We have:      user interface
                        peer management
                        manager/subordinate management
        - We don't have:        well-defined info flow
                                graphical hierarchy
                                updated visualization
                                pager service
        - We would like to have the customer perform the actions
          while we steer the demo.
