Hey there,

Matt Mackall, Augie Fackler and I are in Minneapolis, working on stuff. 
Here is a basic report of some discussion we have been having.

Goaltender Rotation
--------------------

We have been experimenting with a "goaltender rotation" where someone 
other than Matt is taking care of making sure the project is rolling. 
The experience has been positive and we'll keep doing it. The three 
people currently in the rotation are: Matt, Augie and me. Next week (May 
25th) is Augie, then Matt, then Me, then Matt. The current plan is to 
keep rotating roughly like that.

Reviewer repository
-------------------

Augie is actively working toward moving all our website pieces into a VM 
managed by ansible playbook. In this process we plan to setup an 
"hg-reviewed" repository that would obsolete both the clowncopter and crew.

Sprint
------

Next sprint should happen around October and will take place either 
somewhere in Europe or the East coast of North America (Boston?). The 
advent of Augie Offspring will be a constraint here, more detailed 
planning will happen at the end of July.

Mini Conference
---------------

Matt would like to see a Mini Conference organized sometime this year. 
The idea would be to have a 1 day conference with one or two hundred 
attendee, a single track with about 6 talk and a panel. Current target 
location would be the Facebook Campus as we have appropriate hosting 
space. Here is a list of possible topics:

Talks:
- Keynote from mpm,
- Scaling
- Evolution
- Deployment/Admin/Monorepo panel
- Kallithea?
- Bitbucket?
- Lightning talks
