Another agenda item is Google Summer of Code. I've begun our application but await community input as to whether or not we should apply.

It is a very call for participation with a goal that is at best orthogonal to our strengths. Looking forward to the discussion on Friday. regards. -walter On Mon, Feb 8, 2016 at 4:30 PM, Caryl Bigenho <cbige...@hotmail.com> wrote: > Hi Folks! > > Yes… we need to add these 2 agenda items.
