=We/Th 27 Jan 2010= http://timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingtime.html?year=2010&month=1&day=27&p1=137&p2=22&p3=240&p4=215

Agenda:
 * Prioritise tasks that we will work on for the upcoming 3.0 release


 * Roundup of new programs since 2.0


 * Update on what's happening with Click2Try


 * Look over & triage open bug reports

Possible Areas for improvement:


 * Clean up desktop icons
 * maybe use a menu instead
 * probably create a section for "bleeding edge" releases and packages. This section doesn't need the same level of QA as the rest.


 * Make build scripts consistent
 * copy config files from checked out svn directory, rather than "wget https://svn.osgeo.org/...xx.config". This means we can rebuild old releases (which can't be done at the moment).
 * Use the same tmp file names


 * Quality Control:
 * Have each project write a test plan which explains how to test to see if the project works


 * Move toward OSGeo incubation
 * Put commit processes in place, and specify which licences can and cannot be added
 * Have committers sign up to maintain the commit guidelines
 * Specify license guidelines


 * Data Sets:
 * Package up a common dataset
 * Encourage (but not mandate) projects to use the dataset


 * Documentation: (probably to target 4.0, foss4g 2010)
 * Provide tutorial guidelines
 * Encourage projects to populate the tutorials in line with the guidelines


 * Install to USB Stick how-to


 * Multi-lingual how-to


 * Wireless network card firmware (and non-Free in general)
