reminder: technical conference call friday April 20 at 2:30 EDT = 1:30 CDT = 11:30 PDT

> The bi-weekly Croquet technical conference calls continue tomorrow,
> friday April 20
> at 2:30 EDT = 1:30 CDT = 11:30 PDT
>
> To call in: 605-990-0400  passcode: 212635
>
> This is hosted by freeconferencecall.com which means you pay long
> distance for the
> conference call - this is probably not optimal for the Europeans, but
> we wanted to
> get started now, and improve things as we go forward. I'm sure I am
> overlooking
> some people that ought to be on the call - but since it is the first
> one and I'm
> in the process of moving to Duke, I'm begging everyone's indulgence.
>
> Two topics are on the agenda at this point:
>
> 1.) Mark McCahill - status report on getting a source code repository
> in place for the next release of Croquet (the jabberwocky release)
>
> 2.) David Smith - development roadmap
>
> -------------------------------------------
>
>
> minutes from the last call:
>
> Present: Darius Clarke, Andreas Raab, David Smith,
> Mark McCahill, Howard Stearns, Bert Freudenberg
>
>
> 1.) Andreas asked about the location for the hedgehog source code
> repository.
>
> Mark said we can easily leave the repositories where they are for on a
> University of Minnesota server - if we need to move them we will get
> plenty of notice
>
> Mark will get the DNS name source.opencroquet.org registered and we
> will put the repository for the next release of croquet at that DNS
> name. This suggests we start hosting persistent services (like source
> code) on servers with .opencroquet.org names so we can easily change
> which institutions are hosting the servers. Mark will report back on
> setting up a new repository/name in two weeks - the intent is to get
> the repository for the new release running by then.
>
> Any fixes to the current SDK 1.0 hedgehog release should go into the
> current repository
>
> The name for the next release will be Jabberwocky
>
> 2.) David Smith will produce a draft roadmap in the next week for
> comment, then use the next technical conference call to update the
> larger community on the roadmap and solicit community input.
>
> 3.) Mark McCahill mentioned that people should look at the story about
> Croquet at Mark Wallace's 3pointd.com blog
>    http://www.3pointd.com/20070405/teledildonics-coming-to-croquet/
> and the entries at about "The Naughtyizing of Croquet" at slashdong.org
>
> We should also track how qdot is doing with interfacing personal
> analog interface devices to Croquet since this will be a good way to
> see what sorts of issues there are for someone who is learning the system
>
> Howard said he had written to Mark Wallace about the KidsFirst project
> - anyone else who has a project should also let Mark Wallance know
>
