Although virtual conferencing tools have been successfully used in executive meetings, current tools appear inadequate for the needs of software designers. As a result, while distributed code writing is becoming widespread, almost all software design meetings are still carried out face-to-face incurring costs that undermine the potential of distributed software development.Our research strives to build successful tools for supporting distributed software design meetings. To do so, we must first identify the unique activities of software design which must be mimicked in the virtual world. This paper does so with a detailed study of two colocated design meetings. We discuss issues that must be tackled in the transition to virtual settings, outline requirements for such tools, and propose strategies for meeting these requirements. In doing so, we also identify problems in existing colocated meetings which could be alleviated with these tools.
