Hi Peter,

I remember organising the "Future of ODD" workshop and it was definitely a good thing. Getting those (like Lou, Sebastian, Syd, etc.) into a room to discuss how ODD should develop along with those who were using it in strange ways (like MEI folks), I think worked out well. And look 'Pure ODD' is partly a result thanks to Lou's hard work. That was done as a separate thing not as a council meeting itself. I do think whenever we have conferences where a significant number of us are going to be together, it might be useful to have such meetings. "Focus groups" might be a good way to think about it. Gathering people together to get community involvement in a decision about how something should develop. If been aware that it was not an official Council meeting. Nevertheless, all those Council members made it look quite Councilish to a newcomer ;)

e.g. If someone wanted to get lots of talented programmers together for a weekend to rewrite Roma, I'd certainly support it. ;-)

I think the opening a council meeting has a slightly different intent: by demonstrating how tickets are processed, implemented, built, and make it into the guidelines, we not only encourage those who want to submit tickets, but those who want to join the council (and/or) implement them. I see, I take your point.

Best Peter
