very good idea! we are accumulating things to discuss like

- specs for GRASS GIS 8
- what's missing for 7.4.0

Outreach:
- maybe run a survey to know who uses GRASS GIS
- offer more GRASS GIS courses
- more online material, use Sphinx
- set up a new web site (asap) with responsive design
- generate tons of 1min videos

even if not all have time, some devs or power users will be able to
participate. Then we can have soon another one!
