Ho much interest is there in an OE developers meeting to work on issues and code? OE has run these in the past very successfully. As the project becomes more global, it is getting harder to get a critical mass of people in one place at the same time. I'd hoped we could organize something around one of the existing conferences, but it is becoming apparent this approach does not work due to people's schedules and general burnout issues with conference schedules. To make this work, we need a critical of mass of developers with travel money and some to provide a basic meeting/workspace. Thoughts? I know this is above many people's pay grade, so please forward this to your managers. Philip
