Hey Kurt, please sign me up.  I'd prefer one of the Tues/Thurs times.

Some misc topics I've had on my list in this area too:
- Along with number 3,4, once we've identified a feature, what's the
next steps from there?  Identify owning person or company?  Workgroup?
 Periodic updates in weekly call?  Is there a design template or
process we should follow to ensure community buy-in?  Should we have
some recommended staging dates (use cases, approved design date, test
plan, ...).
- Is there a way to be agile across companies when multiple companies
are contributing to a feature?  User stories, demo's/retrospectives?
