1. News from last meeting (A.Tsaregorodtsev)
-----------------------------------------
SICB++ code should be installed on the official disks under $LHCBROOT.

==> action: P.Binko

2. Code Generation with Rose (P.Binko)
-----------------------------------
- Not yet succeeded to create single properties file which would help
to generate proper C++ code.
==> Expected support from SPIDER (properties file supporting coding
conventions)

- current solution: 2 properties files (one to generate header files,
one to generate implementation files).

- solution under investigation: additional field in the menus
to use LHCb code generator (invokes code generation twice with these
properties files).

3. LHCb Offline Application Framework (P.Mato)
-------------------------------------------

Pere presented this new project: release 1.0 should be ready in
mid-December.

The project is driven by requirements and quality.

The architecture affects the structure of the development team:
it defines the units of software which are the work assignments.

The architecture team is made of:
P.Mato, P.Maley, A.Tsaregorodtsev, M.Frank, P.Binko, M.Cattaneo,
I.Last.

The project will be developed on NT using Rational Rose and NT tools.

Still pending question is: Who, When, How to move to UNIX.
