thanks all for the great work so far!

As the number of developers is increasing and at the same time  
becomes more distributed over the planet, we should have a (physical)  
developer meeting during RoboCup. The focus of the meeting should be  
a bit different of the (usual) roadmap discussion: we should discuss  
how we'll organise the next year of development, and how you all  
think we should continue. At the end of the day, it's probably also  
good to just meet.
I'd like to try keeping the number of people somehow manageable. The  
detailed 'what' of the future development shouldn't be of major  
importance for this meeting, so we can keep the number of people  
restricted to current and prospective developers (of course, everyone  
else can still join in).

I guess it would be good to meet at some point before the roadmap  
discussion, maybe early at some point when everything is set up and  
running. I'll look out for a good date closer to the event (or even  
when we're in Atlanta). I know that not everyone of you will be there  
(it's not completely clear for me either - my University is  
struggling with this registration ;-)..., and those who are there are  
usually very busy, but we'll find the time somehow. :-)

cheers
