Ok, on further read this needs some attention in the document. Let's
table this for discussion at the meeting. I am not even close to
answers at this point, but I'll think on it some.<br>

<b>Subject:</b> [mapguide-psc] Bootstrapping the MapGuide PSC<br>
</font><br>
</div>
All,<br>
<br>
Welcome to the MapGuide PSC. I created this mailing list as a means for
us to communicate as we get the PSC up and running. The mailing list is
open to all, but I simply added this your e-mail addresses to get
things going. Please review and comment (back to this list) on the PSC
guidelines that can now be found at: <a
href="https://mapguide.osgeo.org/psc.html">https://mapguide.osgeo.org/psc.html</a>.<br>
<br>
I would also like to propose an initial bootstrap meeting of the PSC on
Wednesday at 2:00 PM (EST) / 12:00 PM (MST) / 11:00 AM (PST). The
agenda for that first meeting is:<br>
<ul>
<li>Review and discuss the PSC Guidelines </li>
<li>Development and/or PSC Meetings on IRC </li>
<li>The psc vs dev mailing list. Do we need both? </li>
<li>Initial PSC size and member nominations. </li>
</ul>
As per open source custom, the meeting will be held on IRC. For IRC
newbies Chatzilla is probably the best way to get going. It works with
Firefox and once installed you can log onto the channel by pointing
your browser at: irc://irc.freenode.net/#mapguide. You can download
Chatzilla from: <a href="http://www.hacksrus.com/%7Eginda/chatzilla/">http://www.hacksrus.com/~ginda/chatzilla/</a>.<br>
<br>
Daniel you have been included in the PSC mailing list and the meeting
invite so that you can monitor how things progress as we strive to
satisfy our final incubation requirement.<br>
<br>
Please let me know if the meeting time works for you and if not please
propose a new time.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Bob<br>
