All,

Here's a draft of an agenda for the face to face meeting. I know a lot
of stuff is surely missing. We'll use it for a starting point, and hope
for the best!

Please send additional topics or any other suggestions to me or the
list.

-------------- next part --------------
For the second face-to-face meeting of BIND 10's 2nd year, we're going
to meet at ISC's head office.

Meeting Goals
-------------
Some goals for the meeting:

  * Get the team together - both old and new members - to work face to
    face for a change.
  * Check our progress versus our milestones - both big and small, and
    correct if necessary.
  * Recursion. We need to make some architecture & design decisions 
  * Recursion. We need to delve into more detail about implementation.
  * Recursion. ;)

Meeting Logistics
-----------------
Same as usual: A room with whiteboards, projectors, and laptops. We'll
take minutes into the BIND 10 Wiki. Also as usual, I'll act as Master
of Ceremonies.

Meeting start time will be 09:30 each day, and we'll aim to end around
17:00.


Meeting Stucture
----------------
We've had some success with using part of our time for software
development in the past. I'd like to try to do this during this
meeting, although we may find we don't have much time for this.

As always, we'll try to be flexible and make sure we get the best use
out of our time as possible.


Folks
-----
We have some people not attending all days, or not attending in person:

  * Shawn will be joining us Thursday & Friday (2010-09-02 and
    2010-09-03)
  * Larissa will be arriving late Wednesday, and in-and-out Thursday
  * Jeremy will be participating remotely.
  * JPRS has a new engineer joining BIND 10 development who will be
    participating remotely.

Unlike previous meetings, we may have a lot of visitors: 

  * Jerry Scharf, who is working on defining a great user interface
    for BIND 10, will be joining us.
  * Norm Ritchie, who works for ISC but doesn't normally join the
    techy side of things, will be in the ISC office. Hopefully he will
    have some time to sit with us.
  * Someone from Mozilla will be joining us to talk about DNS in
    Mozilla and who we can talk to about BIND 10 and DNS in general.
    This will be Tuesday around 11:00 through lunch.
  * We might have someone from the BDB team at Oracle stop by to
    discuss databases with us.
  * Ron Aitchison, who is working on writing a book now, will
    hopefully be with us for part or all of the week.
  * Ron may bring an engineer from Bluecat to join us for some time.
