have agreed with these items as goals. (I had seen the invitation but
considered most of the projects which were originally mentioned as being
mostly irrelevant.)

of this set of items are out of scope.
I wonder if all the participants agree with _that_ interpretation. I

Social Swarm mailing lists? Really?
I am definitely not opposed to making decisions about requirements and
things which are out-of-scope in a discussion or for a working group.
Such decisions sometimes are necessary. But I doubt that these

And I am beginning to wonder if what I see here is representative for
the CCC...
Cheers,
