Thanks Cameron, we're still debating at how/when/where for the meeting...
Jeff brought up the idea meeting at the code sprint actually, maybe we can
talk an hour or so out of sprinting to have a meeting - or meet during the
lunch time or similar. Then we wouldn't need to change venue, etc.
Is that what you were thinking Jeff? Of course we could meet at the FOSS4G
venue during the event sometime too, like at lunch or dinner. Or zip over
to Lisasoft during the week sometime so others can skype in to the chat.
Here is who I think is attending FOSS4G and may be available for the
meeting:
* Attending: Tyler, Jeff, Arnulf, Geoff, Ravi (no quorum)
* Not attending: Bob, Ari, Chris, Markus, Frank
I would find it valuable to have any of the 'outgoing' directors attend if
they are available too, e.g. Jeroen and Paul.
