I think it really depends on how many people are attending whether we should split our focus. I also think that most potential users are going to be interested in where the project is headed overall, too.
Cheers,
Walter

I've added a web link to the online version of "Producing Open Source Software" which should give some context about Open Source and how to run a project.
Of particular interest is the chapter about form of governance:

Jo Ransom
said 2 strands of discussion
I think we could most usefully use our time by starting off together and looking at the big picture, conceptual stuff, and then separate into 2 strands:
1. Developers, strategists and those interested in the project overall.
2. Users: those who want to get a Kete up and running.
cheers Jo.
