    • What do you want to get out of the PMC?
      • Martin: Doug should kick people to communicate, keep websites up-to-date, etc. Sometimes they need a kick, and he thinks its a good idea.
      • Mark, Shigeki: Agrees with this list.
      • Christian: Mentoring is especially important to him. Worried about burdening the group.
      • Doug: Everyone should subscribe to the dsdp-pmc mailing list. Anyone should feel comfortable asking questions, making comments, reporting on issues. We should also spend more time sharing our project challenges with the group so that others can learn. We should also help each other out with networking, e.g. when a project needs a technical contribution in a particular area, we should tell the PMC about it. Perhaps another company has a strategic interest in the technology and might be able to help out.
    • What are your time constraints?
      • The monthly meetings are fine.
      • Some folks have trouble keeping up with the website or getting material on the help server. This will hopefully change soon.
      • The PMC agreed that it's ok for the project lead to send a designated representative to ensure that each project has representation at the PMC meeting.
  • Keeping websites up to date
    • When Rauno's commit rights come through, MTJ will be able to update. Most other projects believe they are compliant.
