(as recorded by Ted.) So here's a list of agenda items that were decided upon:

0. We have no double EE students in our group. It might be nice to.

1. We've decided to begin our development by using the Sphinx toolkit http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/sphinx/

2. We have decided to start with the SPINE1 data set.

3. We've decided to develop on the SLaTe server

Soundar, Ted and Yang need accounts on the SLaTe server. The SLaTe server is located at [name-blocked-out] Which looks like this:

		------ ------ ------
        name    | c0 | | f0 | | c1 |
        port	| 22 | |2201| |2202|
                ------ ------ ------
		  \-------+-----/
          ----------------+----------------
	  |        NAT BOX                |
          ---------------------------------

The SLaTe server is also mounted on the systems in the SLaTe lab (under /u). The common area can be accessed via the user "drspeech". Proggies and such are in /u/drspeech/i586-linux/bin for Linux utilities. Larger utilities and programs with many commands are in /u/drspeech/opt.

Notes on Tandem:
Tandem seems interesting at least for small systems, but may not have a low enough time/results ratio to be worth pursuing immediately. Thus the focus that we seem to have settled upon is to get a working system up and running, and then begin to make adjustments from that point.
