 		<td align="left" valign="top" colspan="2">The Graphical Modeling
 		Framework (GMF) project is perhaps unique in that it comes with a lot
 		of interest from parties with similar functionality already
 		implemented. Therefore, in order to get a better understanding of the
 		approaches that have been taken, and to review each potential
 		contribution in a public forum, the following list and schedule is
 		presented.<br />
 		<br />
 		The goal of each presentation is to provide an overview of experiences
 		to date using EMF/GEF, an architectural overview of potential code
 		contributions, and discuss the anticipated pros/cons and expected
 		level of effort to refactor for GMF. The presentations do not have to
 		be comprehensive, as a demonstration, code review, and open discussion
 		should serve to fulfill the goals of the review.<br />
 		<br />
 		Following the review presentation, feedback will be solicited on the
 		developer mailing list and summarized on this page. When the reviews
 		are complete, and the potential contributions are reconciled with the
 		GMF Requirements posted <a href="requirements.php">here</a>, those
 		contributions which best fit project goals will be determined.<br />

	<td align="left" valign="top" colspan="2">The Graphical Modeling
	Framework (GMF) project is perhaps unique in that it comes with a lot
	of interest from parties with similar functionality already
	implemented. Therefore, in order to get a better understanding of the
	approaches that have been taken, and to review each potential
	contribution in a public forum, the following list and schedule is
	presented.<br />
	<br />
	The goal of each presentation is to provide an overview of experiences
	to date using EMF/GEF, an architectural overview of potential code
	contributions, and discuss the anticipated pros/cons and expected
	level of effort to refactor for GMF. The presentations do not have to
	be comprehensive, as a demonstration, code review, and open discussion
	should serve to fulfill the goals of the review.<br />
	<br />
	Following the review presentation, feedback will be solicited on the
	developer mailing list and summarized on this page. When the reviews
	are complete, and the potential contributions are reconciled with the
	GMF Requirements posted <a href="requirements.php">here</a>, those
	contributions which best fit project goals will be determined.<br />
