FYI: This is a meeting for school organizers to be updated about what happened at Toronto + SF meetups.

Call me contrarian, but this is the cusp where total transparency breaks down. I would think such a meeting on core technology and decisions would have wide announcement, exposure and participation.

As far as I understood it, the spread of the word will be happening in stages over the next few weeks. But since the Schools are going to be running courses in April it makes sense to run through it with them, make sure we're all happy, and then disseminate (via the schools and other P2PU channels).

This is still early days for the new site - it's by no means ready for a big, public launch or call for users, and I think there is a real risk of overwhelming the process if we move too fast. Baby steps will, if past iterations are anything to go by, be far more useful for the development of the site.

Dan - The conversation was targeted at specific individuals who could answer specific questions we had in mind on very specific topics. This has nothing to do with poor transparency.

It's one meeting to get feedback from a key stakeholder group, the
people running schools. Other stakeholders will be asked for input
separately, but they will have very different requirements and
perspectives and this allows us enough time to drill down on the
schools requirements.

Dan: Please approach the technology development process in good faith.
We are trying to do this right - and even if we don't always succeed,
it's not because of bad intentions.

Thanks for the notes Ali and apologies that I couldn't make the call.

I've added notes and suggestions to the Cacoo page (What a great collaborative tool for the website! I guess thanks go to Zuzel?)

> ... good faith ... bad intentions

Nobody is raising issues of bad intentions. The original poster sent out a message labeled REMINDER to a public group in regards to an unannounced event. Several people who might be interested in that meeting were unaware of the details or mentioned they missed the meeting. To be scolded when I point out that this is a transparency issue is a little hard to understand specifically.
