Hi all,

I thought it might be a good idea to let you have my
thoughts on the
Agenda's topics beforehand hoping it helps to
streamline the discussion.

Why choose GNOME http://www.gnome.org/about/why.html shows 6 intended Audiences
GNOME for Business, GNOME for Home Users, GNOME for Developers, GNOME for the 
World, GNOME for People with Disabilities, GNOME for System Administrators.

Patterns should be adjusted to match intended audiences and be (de)selectable 
during installation. All items not part of a selected pattern should not be 
installed by default. If something is thought a marvellous _must_have_ 
application ( a killer like PA ) then it should be advertised and offered by a 
link on the desktop rather than installed by default leaving it up to the user 
to find out about it. This includes a decent introduction just why this is 
thought to be the salvation for all, and how people not installing it must go 
to hell.

    * Agenda for upcoming meeting (jpr / all)

How to reduce number of Bugs to begin with. Bug 371745, Bug 374911, Bug 269774
