Topics

  • Build update
  -
    Anthony to followup with Rich next week on how to handle some
    modeling (?qvt?) project files.
  -
    Karsten (re) raised concern about the accessibility issue, and
    that so many of that "should do" items had no comment or status.
    ACTION: I offered to send reminder to cross-project list.
  -
    Tom asked about Babel's expectations and deadlines.
    ACTION: Since none of us knew, Tom will ask on Babel's
    newsgroup, and get back to Planning Council.
  • When, How, Who to have bi-weekly "build team" meetings?
  -
    Oisin may follow-up with note to cross-project list with a a
    proposal.
  • List of moons for future names:
  -
    ACTION: Oliver volunteered to setup a doodle vote (or whatever
    its called) and give community a limited set to vote on ... such
    as just the H moons. We did decide we can use any moon in the
    solar system ... don't need to stick to Jupiter's moons.
  -
    Jupiter has about [50
    moons](http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/profile.cfm?Object=Jupiter&Display=Moons)\!
    Are these pronounceable enough?
