BACKGROUND, MOTIVATION, GOALS AND DELIVERABLES:

The purpose of this meeting is to build a common-ground in the
software-centric efforts on the two campuses related to Cal-IT2 goals.
This includes: an understanding of the overall goal(s), the software
architecture and technology pieces, and infrastructural compatibility on the
two campuses.

We will:

a. briefly review relevant work on the two campuses directly related to
systems software for mobile devices (PDAs, Platforms, Wireless network
nodes, etc);

b. explore possible project ideas that directly add to Cal-IT2 goals;

c. define short term (6mo-1year) as well as long term demonstration
vehicles ("CNN news");

d. concretize Cal-IT2 support for this activity (tangible as well as
"moral support").

Meeting and Subsequent Deliverables:

1. White Paper on the software architecture for the wireless
infrastructure -- what are the layered software pieces jointly being
worked on?

2. Plan of action document: Adoption and expansion of the current
efforts on providing 3G interoperability with 802.11 solutions on the
two campuses.

3. Task ownership and needs document
