Comet Meeting -- October 12, 2010

From CometWiki

It was a Great Meeting

The Meeting was held at the Days Hotel at the Newark International Airport (NJ).

The format was informal, similar to the meeting in Hawaii in 2009. We had three days of morning sessions with the afternoons and evenings for social gatherings, trips to Manhattan, etc. The first day's meeting lasted until 3:00. The next two days ended at 1:00 and 2:00 pm.

The most discussed topic was the transition to Comet32. Everyone understands why this is necessary. The most discussed hurdles were:

• The lack of background partitions.
• The transition away from image files
• No auto print from DocManager
