Comments / Feedback

Discussing Peter's new TWikiGovernanceProposal1 proposal on this release meeting today is too close in time. We don't have time to read and understand this proposal that quickly. The release meeting is starting in a few minutes and the proposal has just been uploaded to TWiki.org. Please, let's drop point 1 from this meeting and agree that we will have a wiki-style discussion first.

I would keep the point on the agenda but with two purposes only.

• A change to Q&A Peter
• Agree on a set of follow up meetings where we can discuss the proposal. I would like to see 2-3 meetings using voice call and at different times to allow people from different time zones to be there

Naturally the proposal will also be discussed on Codev. But let us try and plan some meetings where we can discuss already tonight.

It's nice to see that things finally get going again. Keep diggin'!
