   Email me with any sticking points, especially with search/filtering.  I can help!

   Suggest getting feedback from Softvision since they have used both tools (litmus)

   As well as QAnalyst as they are heavily using it

   Team lunch or event in 2013? [marcia]

   This was mentioned as an idea in the hallway, just gauging feedback or interest in doing something.

   [jammink] need better process for reporting bugs from regression testruns; devs have started to complain about dupes, comments on existing bugs etc.  This is also demotivating to the testers themselves. How can we make the regression testing more useful?

   [geo] Announcement recently about getting management PINs for Vidyo rooms so we can share recording, etc. duties?

   Fire extinguishers for people that have pants on fire.
