Date: Fri, 21 Feb 2014 14:54:08 -0500 Subject: [Twg] Call for presenters/Meeting agena Message-ID: All, I apologize it's taken me a coupe of weeks to get this message out. I talked to Dave briefly and he said there was a bit of a backlog of folks who could present during a TWG meeting -- anyone interested in talking at the next call? Has anything interesting happened since the last meeting before SC? I think there's likely something good to discuss. I am looking at scheduling a call for either 2-27 or 3-6. Preliminary agenda would include (welcome more topics!) NRE 1 contract update (SFS-DEV-001) - Hill NRE 3 contract update - Simms Requirements gathering step? (Note I'm mostly unfamiliar with past work but want to move this forward) Q & A Please let me know if you are interested in talking at the next call or have other ideas for the agenda.
