Minutes of developer conference call & thoughts on how conduct future meetings

[Richard Newbould]

Hi All,

 

Thanks for those who participated or would like to have, given the chance (patic the BT Petes).

 

Please find the minutes below for your convenience and on the wiki at:

http://code.google.com/p/so-class2/wiki/MM091205

 

Next call: Sat, 23rd Jan, 11am (GMT)

 

I think the meeting would benefit from live updates to minutes that we can all see and even contribute to.  Hence, I propose using Google Wave in future (don't panic - it's easy enough.  and try not to get excited if you're a real propeller head, like me!).  So I'll send you all invitations.

 

We also struggle to get everyone on the audio because of the 5 person limit on Skype conf calls.  I'm hoping we can have that resolved for the next meeting.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!  (thought I'd try get in first)

 

Thanks!

 

Richard
