[wplug-board] Next Steps

[Pat Barron]

Thanks to Joe for posting the summary of the CRW discussions to the wiki!

I'm open as far as a meeting location, as long as we can find someplace 
that's suitable for holding a meeting.  I think the primary factors 
would be a location that will a) tolerate us sitting there and gabbing 
for an hour or two, and b) has free wireless Internet access.  Sadly, 
don't think we're likely to find anywhere suitable that's centrally 
located and equally convenient for all.  The point John made about 
having a fixed meeting location is well taken, but is basically 
applicable for general member meetings (so as to make sure members 
*never* have any doubt as to where the meeting is) - for purposes of the 
Board, I think it would be fine to rotate around meeting locations, to 
spread the travel burden around more equitably.   I will echo what I 
think I heard a couple of people say last time, though, which is that 
I'd prefer to see the Board meetings start later in the evening.  This 
actually would help me (and maybe others?), in that pushing the meetings 
out later means not having to drive in crazy evening commute-time traffic.

Virtual meetings would really help us here too, and will be easier to 
arrange if we can get the proposed RP1 bylaws amendment adopted.

Sort of echoing Joe's comment, the "technical program" stuff isn't part 
of RP1, this was a side discussion we got into because Vance asked what 
we had planned for the January GUM.  We still need to reach closure on 
that before we can announce the GUM.

More important to me than when we meet is where: on the failed December 8th meeting, we talked about holding the next board meeting at a more "central" location so that John (I think) and I didn't have to travel so far, but we didn't follow up with that. Does anyone have suggestions? I live in Wexford, which is in the North Hills.
