Movement roles/Working group meeting 2011-1-29
This is an overview of the Movement roles meeting held in Frankfurt January 29 and 30. It will include links to any outcomes of this real-life meeting of the group. The group has been discussing this topic online for the past months, but a real-life meeting was very helpful in making progress and resolving misunderstandings.
We met to identify potential problems, common grounds and to inspire discussions and conversations, not to make decisions -- with the details movement proposals such as a charter to be developed here with input from all stakeholders.
We tried to organize the meeting notes and give some context to give you a better impression of the event. These notes are shared in the order of discussion and with minimal editing, for transparency. The raw notes included shorthand and questions which have been expanded and merged into the notes. More developed proposals, wordings and summaries will be linked to from here and used to initiate discussions on mailing lists and here on the wiki.
