1. Welcome & Introductions

  • Welcome to new member Ed Sager, who couldn’t join us last month
  • Please bring your Palm to all DETAG meetings

2. Palm PAL Training (Eddie Lovett)

  • Extended training was provided today on functionality
  • Future meetings: training limited to about 30 minutes

3. DE & Technology Plans Update

  • Change in Approach: Everyone interested in Tech Plan, and not as many in DE Plan. Since we want to minimize extra meetings, we will work as a full group on both plans during regular meetings. Jennifer and Peggy still may be asked to take the lead on any “homework” items like connecting with other interested parties, research, etc.We will work online as much as possible as well to accomplish tasks.
  • It was decided to first tackle the Technology Plan. An overview was provided by Leslie. Leslie will flesh out detail, which will be reviewed at each DETAG meeting.
