Community Group Meeting 12 October 2004

Discussion

• The licensing page at LicensingTopics should be updated before the next release.
• Creative Commons stuff is ready to go. Pieter has sent the email out; now we just need to wait for the two weeks and then put the CC copyright information in the wiki copyright area. Pieter to go ahead and put the CC license on the Web pages.
• Pieter to work on the ZeroPointFourGuidedTour.
• The Mellon report got sent out yesterday. Pieter might refactor it and include pieces in the Product FAQ. Pieter to send copies to Mitchell, Ted, and Chao.
• Pieter mentioned that Glenn from Creative Commons was interested in Ducky's authors script. Ducky to clean up the script and get it to Glenn.
• We need a CLA soon, since hazmat is going to start working on the logging stuff soon. Mitchell to work on it.
• Party! Pieter to coordinate the 0.4 party.
• Developer dogfood: Ted will be in a meeting tomorrow to talk about it. Ducky to write a tutorial based on Morgen's servlets. That probably won't get done by 0.4, but if we're within a week or two, that will probably be okay. We should announce it on IRC once it's done and solicit feedback on how to make it better.
• There is a sense that Office Hours are not as useful as they should be. We're going to drop to every other week and instead have more substantive discussions on mailing lists.
