One day there will be a public roadmapping process done at a MeeGo project level. On top of this specific projects may have their own planning activities. No mater how, ideally the plan for the release is public and fully committed by the time the release starts. The MeeGo Conference is indeed a good venue to discuss the direction of the MeeGo platform and related projects, but waiting for a MeeGo Conference to agree the roadmap of a next release sounds too risky. > I don't think it's feasible to have it right now twice a year -- let's get up > and running first.

There haven't been discussions about this but it makes sense. Probably smaller and more focused on the project maintainers and platform developers directly involved. Maybe in the future we even have it the other way around: the big massive conference happens in Spring when the Northern Hemisphere enjoys good weather and then in the dull Autumn we have the smaller one with basically full time employees closed in a big room during 3 days because anyway it's dark and raining outside. ;) Or find alternative Southern venues and meet every six months but always in Spring. -- Quim Gil open source advocate MeeGo Devices @ Nokia _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list MeeGo-dev@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
