Meeting Summary

The meeting was pretty busy with much discussion centering around the design.drupal.org prototype, how it will work and in particular licenses for design files that are uploaded to the site. I will be posting new discussions this week in response to those discussions.

The second major item was focused on the design challenges and how we communicate these to the wider public - its important that we get the messaging right - that Drupal is an open source project and by participating in Drupals design challenges you are an open source contributor. There was also discussion around improving the collaborative model of d.d.o to help reinforce the community aspect -that we a are a community working together, not a bunch of separate people competing with each other.

Those were the two main take-aways from the meeting, unfortunately we didn't get any time to discuss the wireframes, so I will be posting up new discussions in the groups to tie in with our new use case documents, which will also be posted up in the coming week.

I have attached the log for posterity.
