I’m just throwing this out there, mostly because I’m a science nerd, but why
not August 21st in the viewability range for the Solar eclipse? Here is a map
showing the best viewing areas. http://www.eclipse2017.org/2017/maps.htm (

I kind of agree with Russ, here. However, at the same time, a once-a-year,
in-person meeting that not everyone can physically attend isn't the only
avenue to bring up issues for discussion. All influencers/developers/power
users/whatevers should be encouraged to start discussions on the dev@ ML,
at anytime. In addition to being more in the Apache Way, it's trackable,
maintains history, and is publicly open to everyone. Traditionally, we as a
community haven't done so well with dev@ discussions, although I think it's
better than a few years ago and we are improving.
All this being said, I think having an in-person get together of the
developers (and any others) to help discuss roadmap, new and crazy ideas
wrt implementation, and just generally hang out is good thing. As space
usually follows budget, if we end up constrained for a NGCC, we may need to
be more (or less) selective than in years past - I don't know how that'll
happen, but perhaps we can find a way with PMC voting or something along
those lines.
I like the idea of a NGCC, but we shouldn't subscribe to it as the only
medium for discussions of big issues/features/concerns.

p.s. Yes, Jira can serve a similar purpose as a dev@ thread, but it's
usually not a great place to have design discussions of large features (I'm
guilty of this).
