Update on ops team discussions:

+ Most conversations about overall project coordination have moved to the "Preview" meeting (and to this list):

+ Sheila did a feature review for Mitch back in April, and he is now actively using desktop and hub. He'll send feedback to the users list.

+ We have a few OSCON presentations: one on open design (Mimi and Ted), one on the windmill automated testing framework (Mikeal and Adam), and a lightning talk on the state of the project (me). Bryan Stearns, Brian Moseley and Robin Dunn will also attend the conference. At OSCON we'll have "launch" cards with the new logo and the tagline.

+ We've had several conversations about better communication, from being more consistent about posting meeting notes and bug council decisions on lists, to doing more blog posts about project happenings. We'll probably see more emphasis on this post-preview. We'll move to sending out ops team meeting notes each week (as Heikki did this week).

+ We've also discussed decision making at OSAF, what is working and what needs to be improved. We have our governance principles as a guide; the ops team often discusses specific examples. We've been trying to be more clear (on lists) who is the "owner/driver" of various decisions or issues, when that is not obvious from project roles.

+ Jared gave us an overview on metrics (from Chandler Hub and from other sources like wiki, websites, mailing lists). More to come from Jared.

+ We talked about how to better integrate the service into release planning and problem tracking. Decisions: Jared is running a release meeting for server and hub; open issues with the production service are to be discussed at the Preview meeting; we're using bugzilla to track problems with the production service (tracking under the "Sharing Service" bugzilla product).

+ Ted is the "owner/driver" of the launch plan for Preview; we're discussing that on the pr list.
