Thank you Jan,

I am not about giving up that easily,
and I also think we should gather our resources and layout what is possible.
Who, what, where, when, why and how ?

videos
In the back of my mind I kinda expect a (few) proper video(s) will only be shot
if we gather the right people together in one place and each and every
one involved
knows beforehand what is to be done that timeframe.
Therefore either such a thing is done with the support of a (few) LoCo
Or to be put on hold till UDS.
Never the less, the desire to make a professional ad is there.
And such a thing needs creative ideas
Things that do not fit well can be adjusted as a group.

But there are other ideas too, which can be worked out
and go out before natty release.
These also need to be worked out.

The last 2,3,4! meetings have been very chaotic
I do not want that anymore

we have this etherpad:
http://openetherpad.org/c5BupbHabP
Which is a layout for what to talk about

I volunteer to be hosting and provide the outlines
of that next meeting, but please stick to the subject!
The meeting is most likely to last 2 hours.
After that, people tend to come up with other creative works
so your welcome to stay in channel for a while.

Also, a lot of people sign up for teams just to monitor its progress.
Do not expect everyone signed up to participate
The list of people on the wiki is more reliable,
and also, when there are actual things to do more will come.
