Summary

This summit is still in the pipelines, all that is confirmed so far is that it will be 10/05/2008 (that's May, not October - sorry US folks) in "London." Vague? Nah ;) More details to come soon!

Location

As of 6th May, 2008 the go-ahead has been given for this to occur at the Last.fm Offices in London. The nearest tube stop is Old Street, and yes, there is a ballpool.

More details on getting to the office can be found here.

Crash Spaces

The following people have been paired up for crashing:

We still need spaces for Outsidecontext, FauxFaux, dmppanda, kuno.

Agenda items

Here are some of the topics that we should discuss at the summit -- these topics are a must:

  1. Google Summer of Code -- All three students and two mentors will be present.
  2. MusicBrainz server development over the summer. Perl, python, Template::Toolkit
  3. Picard and Alexander's SoC project to improve usability
  4. Niklas Berglund's Music Collection project for SoC
  5. Next Generation Schema (NGS) and how that is impacted by the summer coding sprint
  6. The BBC's efforts to help MusicBrainz with NGS.

If you would like to propose more things to be added, please do so below:

  1. Moving to mod_perl 2, but I suspect that's covered by "server development", above - DaveEvans
  2. [ your idea here ]
