OK - taking into account those who asked, we have a mutually agreeable
date & time; its on, next week at this time:

  - Friday 14th March, 7am Australia/EST
  - Thursday 13th March, 4pm US/EST

I'll send out conference call numbers closer to the time, next week.

Here's an initial agenda - I've added a couple to the front, otherwise
its all Franks list so far.  There's plenty of time to send anything
else that's on your mind through too...


- build processes
  - git-tar vs make src-link
  - qa .out files vs pcp releases
  - pcp-gui + pcp-doc + pcp -> tree merge planning

- release schedule
  - once-a-month useful?  sustainable?

- path toward grand-unified archive+live capability
  - intermediate steps?
    - virtually-glue-archives-together enough?  would it require new context
    type?
    - tail -f on archives
  - acceptability of server/proxy process for full capability?

- path toward data durability
  - do we really care?
  - whither the fche/fsync patches?
  - streamable archive format?

- platforms
  - is windows status quo (mingw) going anywhere?
  - worth trying cygwin (posix) builds again?
  - which unixes/distros are of interest?  release binaries for them?
  - how do we share build/testing load?
  - how to gather evidence about compatibility assumptions (sgi addons vs.
    multilib)?
  - how to entice distro reps into presence in pcp community?
