1. Start
        Mr. Brown started the meeting at 14:20.

2. Assessment of the situation
        The web site of the project is available, but still under construction.
 
3. Discussion
        The questions consensed in preparation of the meeting with the
        Petrozavodsk team and with the customer Markku Kojo are:
 
        - Which communication means will we be using to contact the customer
        Markku Kojo?
 
        - Do we want the project to be focused on education or analysis?
 
        - Is it possible to consider a simplification of TCP instead of real
        TCP and is TCP the only protocol we are interested in?
 
        - Do we want the program to visualize fixed sequences of protocol
        exchange or to manipulate the protocol exchange dynamically? (or both)
 
        - Do we need to visualize a real existing network environment or can we
        simulate one within the program (i.e. do we need real data)?
 
        - Which are the key elements of the protocol exchange that
        visualization highlights?

        - What are the key reasons why tcpdump has appeal as the source of the
        visualization?
 
        There is no predefined preference in the order the questions should be
        proposed, but for the first one, which is essential.
 
 
4. Action points
        No action tasks are determined in this meeting.
 
5. End
        Mr. Brown ended the meeting at 17:18.
