During the meeting, I called for developers to start work on the code-base now, regardless of their eventual expectations of which of the two open source projects they will join, so that their skills and their familiarity with the code are developed. Change in the codebase is inevitable, but skills and familiarity gained today will remain valuable. This uniting message was well received by the audience. I've blogged further on the topic at http://webmink.com/2011/07/06/brazil-signs-up-to-develop-office-suites/ S.
