I dunno, maybe we should do a run-up mostly-online sprint sometime in the next few months (early December, before the holidays really hit, maybe?). Again, it's a big effort to get core people face-to-face and so that needs more lead time, but if you guys who can just get on a train for a few hours want to get together sooner or more often, you should totally go for it :-). > > One more note: it appears we have a huge cluster of people in Germany > > (or relatively nearby), and especially people working on front-ends > > and integration stuff.

Definitely a lot of the point is to make contacts and get energized, but if you can then use that energy from being in a group to pound out code (or docs, or whatever), get instant response when you run into a question, well... I doubt it is important that everyone be working on monotone core, or on guitone, or on mtteam, or whatever... I bet everyone can still find things to talk about... -- Nathaniel -- "But suppose I am not willing to claim that.
