• Development items/issues:
  • There has been a change in plans for some items for R0.4. Due to business priorities, part of the IBM Aperi team has been asked to temporarily assist the product development team. This moves the NAS and fabric line items out of the R 0.4 plan. After discussing options, the call participants decided to continue to deliver a Release 0.4 in 2007. At the architecture meeting on Wednesday, the open defects will be reviewed and Tom will contact some of the other companies to see if they would like to include anything in the fall release.
