Confirmed participants

The following people participated:

    • Project NadelnderBambus, the complete NextGenerationSchema that has been thought out on the summit. This will be branched off the current MusicBrainzServer code and major parts will be developed from ground up. Working such a major change into the old server piece by piece would just take too long.
    • Implement a new ModerationSystem which allows Wiki-like editing for attributes (text and other content) and only keeps the voting system for structural changes (adding, deleting, moving, merging).
  • In between (as in nobody wants to wait 1 year without anything happening in MB dev):

We even have reservations for dinner in a restaurant where some of my friends will take care of us. But, this is not set in stone if people don't want to eat German food.

110 Euro that we have earned in Amazon referral fees will be available for buying food/beer! I will go and purchase some drinks and snacks beforehand. Any suggestions for what I should get would be appreciated.

Original Agenda

Please add items to the agenda you'd like to discuss:

    • the PicardTagger
    • The RDF schema and the protocols by which clients and server communicate.
