Certainly! I've sent out google calendar invites to the time we
discussed on IRC; if not everyone can make it I think thats ok (but
ideally we all can be there). And I failed to remember
not-in-my-work-calendar events; I'm going to have to shuffle that call
:(.

They do now. Reading the subunit and testrepository manuals
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~subunit/subunit/trunk/view/head:/README
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~testrepository/testrepository/trunk/view/head:/doc/MANUAL.txt

will be good to get context on the plumbing the early adopters have
been using to-date. Also looking into Aaron's canonistack testing tool
may be interesting.

Cheers,
Rob
