[Gwt-openlayers-devl] IRC meeting

[Edwin C. <com...@gm...>]

Hi all,

Recently Francesco Izzi was so kind to create a GWT-OpenLayers IRC
channel on freenode.
(http://webchat.freenode.net/, channel: gwt-openlayers).

There some issues that concern GWT-OL in the large and I would like to
meet up on IRC to discuss these. If we could arrange for all / most
active devs to be on IRC in the near future that would be nice.

The issues are:
- Moving completely to Maven and utilizing it better for GWT-OL
- Creating a new and improved showcase (Andrew has already worked on
that and looked at Google App Engine as deployment options)
- In Which directions should we move forward with GWT-OL 0.6 (or
should it be 1.0 directly?)
- Should we try to become an OSGeo project?
- Intellectual property of GWT-OL: should we have CLA's?

What do you all think? Does anyone have a suggestion for a good online
tool for picking a time to meet up?

On IRC itself: When I think about it, it seems a nice medium for
arriving at decisions between a limited number of people and for
firing questions by outsiders to insiders, but I am also a bit
sceptical as it appears to me that it is easy to lose track of IRC
history (more so than tickets in Trac, which have a discussion thread
attached, and to which developers can respond more spread out over
time)

Greetings,
Edwin
