Quiet in here, and I was looking at the posting rates for this list over the past year or two....

It's all (this list, IRC, meta pages) gone very quiet since the London wikimeet... did something happen then to upset things? Or was so much progress made that we no longer need to talk about anything?

Neither, really. I just think there's not a great deal to talk about at the moment - people are concentrating on the elections. There was some talk about the chapter, but I think most of it was about what went wrong with v1, rather than about the future. It was productive, but only in as much as it helps us know what to keep in mind as we go forward, rather than actually taking us forward. I think we need to wait until after the elections before a great deal will happen.

Or is it just that everyone's still recovering from alcohol and/or travel? ;-)

There could be some of that - the meetup was still going strong when I left at about 7pm, I've no idea how late others stayed!

It would be helpful for those who couldn't be at the meeting to know what was discussed and what conclusions were drawn.

There weren't really conclusions, at least nothing that needs community discussion - we don't get to choose which hoops to jump through, we just have to jump through them. We talked about what's required to set up bank accounts, but nothing really new there, just a little more detail on what went on last time. We talked a bit about domain names, some decisions still to be made there but the bottom line was that it didn't really matter - whoever actually owns the domain name, we'll have no problem using it. We talked a little about fundraising, but only in extremely vague terms, so nothing really to report there (we're pretty optimistic about how much we can get, though). That's about all I remember...
