Management meeting 20050621

Hiring

• Report on current Scooby candidates. The overall Scooby team is planned to get to 4/5 people. Mitch and Lori to meet to review the headcount. Lisa to write Job descriptions for the other positions.

Wiki reorg

• Lisa sent a proposal. No major comments. Mitch reviewed it and said "make it so".
• Need to announce our interns on the blog (Lisa)

wxWidgets

• Concern is on the momentum behind wxWidgets. Stefan vented some frustration with us while here (WWDC). wxWidgets in "maintenance mode" according to him. Since the unraveling of the Borland initiative, there's not much incentive to change things in a radical way like deprecating old compilers. So our concern is with the future viability of wxWidgets.
• We are exploring 3 main paths: incremental (as today), push on wxWidgets 3.0 (host it, coopt other devs interested), move to something else (XUL)
• Others paths: Flash (Lazlo), web based approaches (AJAX), Cairo (Mozilla)
• Need to do: Where we want to go? What are our issues? How good are the alternatives? Philippe to polish and publish his Framework Issue doc.

People

• Brian Kirsh (and Petunia...) going away party
• CSG relationship : Who's going to take that over from Chao? No decision yet. Pieter acting.
