[Northbay-steering] Re: today's meetings

[Deanne DiPietro]

Hi BC and all,

I like it! Maybe we can use the Plone calendar for the milestones.

Unfortunately for me, because this is really all I want to work on, I  
have a big deadline at the end of next week. I will do my best to get  
stuff out, though. I hate for things to stop because of me, so if BC  
or David can maybe talk to Roger and Allan about the standard  
specification moving forward, that would be awesome. Also BC, would  
you mind looking at my raw notes from the meeting?? I just hate to  
lose the momentum, so please feel free to "talk amongst yourselves"!
