- Scott and Rod may meet up to discuss this in March when they are co-located
- Less of a concern for Java software because those products are more self-contained
- Scott and Rod have been emailing back and forth about the use of WiX installers and the depths of how it operates
- There are various ways in which WiX can operate when upgrading an install - some methods aren't great and will require a modest amount of work

- Merge modules do allow for cleaner bug fixes of dependent libraries but creating them is an effort
- One thing to be investigated is whether MS MSI is going to be dumped?
- AI Rod will ask about this when at MS next month
- AI Rod will think about risk reduction in case installer doesn't work as expected
- Rod will probably begin building a test installer either early Feb or early March
- AI Rod will make some sensible estimates on how long the test installer will take

- Seems to work okay, couple people said they liked it better than current conferencing service
- GoToMeeting had previously been a Java WebStart application which meant all it's executed code was pulled down from the web. Now it's a standalone desktop app so less of concern there.
- When do meeting IDs change? Whenever a new event is scheduled. If an event is scheduled as reoccuring it will have the same ID (and thus the meeting initiation URL can be bookmarked) for each instance of the meeting
Next Meeting: January 26, 1600UTC|http://timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20120112T16]
