Change in Review

Today I have scrapped my review of IBM Lotus Symphony. Although it is a valid online office suite, it isn't particularily good and I have been struggling to write enough on it. I will now be concentrating my efforts on Open Office. I have a large amount of information on this suite and therefore it will be a lot better and comprehensive of a review. I will discuss this development with the other group members when we meet again.

Minutes of Meeting#4

Meeting #4
O'Flaherty on Tuesday 17th November
Present: James McNicholas, Conor Smith, Shane Moran, Michael Diskin

•We discussed where we are with regard to the review of each office suite and how we intend to progress after each analysation is complete.

• We decided to publish the screenshots when in a group as opposed to doing them individually. This allows for a better critique as more people can determine the advantages and disadvantages of each screenshot if we are short on space.

• Our next meeting was not arranged but will be made via email or phone.

Today as team leader I set up a google docs account and have just invited the other members of Team Actimel to edit our assignment/report. I uploaded the introduction to our report and we now will each add in different sections to the report before meeting again on Monday. On Monday we shall discuss methods to fine tune these sections and also begin talking about conclusions and recommendations for our report.
