I think it'd be excellent to get us together like this. Count me in for
sure. Wednesday evening sounds good.

I wonder should we defer these agenda items to our more normal IRC
meetings. The openness and archiving of the IRC meetings is really
important IMHO and I wouldn't be happy for us to vote on an incubation
proposal offline.

I guess I'd hope for a meeting like this to be more of a brainstorming
session than an actual decision-making meeting.

For an agenda, how about each PTL describes briefly the challenges their
project is currently facing and the directly-elected members do the same
from a more cross-project perspective. As we go along, we build up a
list of discussion topics before finally picking the most important
topics and go into those in greater detail?

Cheers,
Mark.
