<div dir="ltr"><div>I'd be very up for this; I've been seeing my own progress slip and fail to gain momentum, and I think it's *extremely* important that we kick it off with a strong start to get traction. It doesn't help that I've had multiple projects steal development time. I think this is exactly what is needed. ++.<br><br></div><div>IRC is good, the VDG has also used Google Hangouts for video chat effectively, and there's something about live chat which seems to help things along. But, yes, some form of meeting should definitely be scheduled.<br><br></div><div>I did create a forum, but it's hidden at the moment. I'll delete my (single outdated) post from it, and ask the admins to open it up to the public. I'll write a new introductory post as well.<br><br></div><div>In terms of CMS I think from the BOF notes and my own personal research, we should just formally pick Drupal 8 as the CMS we'll be using. Everything keeps leading back to Drupal. Perhaps before whatever meeting is scheduled those of us unfamiliar with Drupal (raises hand) should look though the documentation so we can pool our knowledge a bit. There's a few obvious things (like getting Drupal to use Kidentity), but we should also look to find other "gotchas" so we can address them in the meeting.<br><br></div><div>And we can all shoot our respective visions around, hammer out a solid plan, and divvy out the work.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I don't know if I'll have the chance to do many, but I'll aim to code-up some basic HTML designs this weekend.<br><br></div><div> - Ken<br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jul 29, 2015 at 9:31 AM, Emile de Weerd <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mederel@gmail.com" target="_blank">mederel@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:courier new,monospace">Hi Ken and everyone,<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:courier new,monospace">I am a long time KDE user and came for the first time this year to the Akademy.
