What's the purpose of the meeting, what is the intended audience, etc? 
And what's the point in voting on what the odds are?

Apart from that, there's little chance I will be able to make it to 
FOSDEM this year :(

regards,

Koen

How long would this meeting last? Before would be better for me. I need 
to work this out ASAP so I can buy a plane ticket.

One day would be fine. There's a number of issues that need some consensus 
before we can move forward. Things that come to mind include:

* The future of BitBake -- where to continue to develop it, in which style, 
and which features to concentrate on.

* Splitting the recipe tree.

* Evaluating our feedback of the first months w/ git.

* Streamlining Poky merges.

* OE and the distro situation

* Documentation, Website, and Hosting.

IIRC Richard had some additional points. RP?

By "before/after FOSDEM" you mean Thursday/Friday (5-6.02.09) or 
Monday/Tuesday (09-10.02.09)? Or other dates?

Agreed, one day would be fine. The question is who could be there?

Koen - most likely not
Mickey - quite likely?
Crofton - quite likely?
RP - if we're going to meet I will aim to be there
Marcin - ?
Zecke - ?
XorA - ?

My view on this is:

 * Switch SCM to git
 * Keep as a separate project
 * Develop and accept features as people have need for them
 * 1.8 continues as "stable"
 * Trunk is the next gen branch with client/server split with UI 
   capability.
 * Trunk replaces 1.8 when people feel its ready/usable.

Most of it fits into the above categories. I also wanted to talk to
people and find out what people are now all doing, which directions
people are moving in (and its implications for OE) and also perhaps try
and convey the direction Poky is going. I've lost touch with what some
people are doing a bit and the reverse is also problem true and probably
others are in a similar position?

Perhaps the alternative is to try and have a meeting on IRC where at
least as many of the above people are available online without other
commitments? We could probably get through things fairly quickly?

Cheers,

Richard

I hadn't made the decision whether I could afford FOSDEM yet!

I'm pretty much in the same boat.

Koen, who is still waiting on previous OEDEM reimbursements

Re: OE dev meeting

[Michael 'Mickey' Lauer]

It looks like there's a slight majority in favour of _before_ FOSDEM, so lets 
check who could be there on Friday.

This year, I want to depart on Sunday, so Friday will work for me.

Cheers,

:M:

NB: With regards to the imbursements, Stelios, do you still have our invoices? 
We need them sent to Cornelius. If you can't do that, please forward 'em to 
me.

Maybe you also can decide on Mateo's OE logo proposal.

I'll be there Friday. How long should we block off for Friday? Who will 
be able to attend? I'm assuming anyone with OE interest who will be in 
Brussels is welcome.

I'm arriving a few days early and will impersonate a tourist until 
Friday AM.

I will arrive on Thursday evening to Astrid hotel. Planned to be a 
tourist during Friday but OE meeting on Friday is ok for me.

The question is where it will take place...

Did someone try to arrange group discount as Astrid, or do we just book as-is?

I was at the beer event last year but missed most key OE ppl because
they decided to be next-doors or so.
So I just got drunk with the other geeks.

Can we exchange phone numbers ahead so that we can text message each
other on this?

We've been booking. The Astrid website showed no vacancy, but I got a 
room via Expedia, and they did reply to an email saying they had rooms.

data charges ...

Get a hotel with free Wifi.

I was hoping for Scandic, which is ~ 150 meters from the beer event, 
but that was fully booked, so I got SAS-Radisson (300 m from beer event)
~99 Euro/night (unless you got SAS miles).

Astrid, if not fully booked is 69 Euros/night.

Linksys provides wifi for the Astrid (well, if you get the right room). 
It's not like we spend much time in the Hotel. The bigger problem is the 
wifi at FOSDEM. Building a network for several thousand nerds is tough.
