In general, I think we're now at the stage where there are too many free
software events trying to be big - we should aim for more frequent,
smaller gatherings on the fringes of aligned events, with one annual
meeting of as many of the Maemo community as possible. There's an
argument for making some of those smaller meetings be focussed - have
one where we get the council together, anothher where we get a web &
wiki team together, etc. I think that has most value overall.

Cheers,
Dave.
