1. Time lines: when does the grant start officially, when can we start spending money?
2. Financial planning: delay until Raelynn is back but are there some general plans already formulating?
   • Koehn's commitment of returned overhead: can we get system support for CVRTI from this deal? He promised ``one technical staff member as part of the SGI for the VSC and proposed NCRR Center...'' as well as $100,000 in equipment?
3. Allocation/recruitment of people
   • CVRTI postdoc 1.2 FTE
   • Dave (100%)
   • Steve (40%)
   • Yarden (20%)
   • Quan (100%) but he is already covered in Treadwell
   • CVRTI Grad student
   • CS Grad students (2)
   • Leonid (40%)
   • Software Manager
   • Raelynn (20%)
   • Secretary (50%) Heidi?
   • Programmers (2)
4. Equipment: what is the story on SGI and how should we adjust our purchase plans?
5. Budgeted Equipment
   • CVRTI: dual-CPU octane
   • CVRTI: Octane MCI
   • CVRTI: Origin 200 server
   • CVRTI: 2 Macs and 2 PC compatibles with fast OpenGl graphics cards
6. Organizational plans
   • need to be very structured because of the deadlines, deliverables and short time before renewal applications.
   • each project leader to work with Dave to come up with most efficient structure. Set up project meetings for each group.
   • all personnel should be very aware of the goals of the project and even grad students need to be focused on those goals.
   • Balance the focus with need to stay integrated within the group through joint seminars and interactions; avoid any ``walls'' being constructed.
