Dear All The new board met November 7th to discuss two issues:
Opencast unconference 2013 in San Diego (January 30th - February 1st) We need your feedback by the end of November in order to move forward with preparing this event. Please also let us know if this meeting is inconvenient for you with respect to time and/or place. A reminder will follow mid-November. Bug Bash II Thanks to Greg, David, and Rüdiger we can move forward towards a follow-up bug bash to tackle issues against 1.4 end of November. A number of dates have been proposed to the community. As all other business had to be postponed, there will be an additional board meeting mid-November.
