Accomplished since last meeting:
Blogging about new samples including
Eclipse plug-ins, Domino administration tools and widgets.
Number 1 blog under PlanetLotus for
6 consecutive days.
Created a YouTube channel – Currently
there are 3 videos there.
Chris Toohey has volunteered to help
create videos. Ludwig should contact Chris.
Created an IdeaSpace for the Discussion
project – light feedback so far. Others can now create their IdeaSpaces.
Web Site – Download tab with 4 different
Release Repositories and the new GPL Catalog.
Questions:
How do we get people to get their projects
in these catalogs?
How do we approach them?
How do we tell them what to do and why?

request more Committers for Apache. We also need a GPL IP Manager and GPL
Committers.
General call to action to the community

Heidloff.
