I'll add you as a manager to the Brand Account so you can use Hangouts on Air
for the GSoC discussions. I agreed that a GSoC Special Interest Group makes
sense, I don't think a "Newcomer" one does because I don't understand what the
"regular business" of the SIG would be. For example, it's very clear to me
what the purpose and mission of a GSoC SIG would be, and why they would meet
regularly.

I don't think we need to carve up everything we do into SIGs for the record, I
think there's a need for SIGs on specified "business" which requires a group's
regular attention, but that doesn't mean everything fits into the model IMHO.


If I'm misunderstanding or missing something about the mission for a
prospective Newcomer SIG, let me know.



Cheers
