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

Mark P. McCahill
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

Teledildonics was one of the hot areas in 1992 when I joined Interval
Research.   The problem is not the software, but the lack of VC
funding.   Unfortunately most VCs are rabid religious right-wingers.
