Decisions and Action Items

• Creation of Teams
• Next Meeting is for team Leaders - May 14th 1300UTC
• Redmine becomes more "framework-like" in that it is very pluggable, but ships with several default plugins that maintain redmine as a great out-of-the box tool.
  • Core -> "Core blessed plugins" -> plugins.
  • More modular Redmine people can pick and choose how their redmine works
• #337 moved to 1.1
• 1.0 Release schedule is:
  • May - Regular development, get in as many features as feasible
  • June - Feature freeze and bugmash, after which put out a Release Candidate
  • July => release 1.0
• Logo design contest sometime before 1.0
• All agreed Plugin Directory needs to be created. We will explore a couple of options and come back to this.
