=== Pre Barcelona / Email / Phone Calls ===

Tech "Vision"

• What does p2pu need/should provide versus using what is already out there?
• How can we create a platform that forms the glue of p2pu but gives people the flexibility to integrate existing open web tools?
• What are the differentiating aspects of p2pu as a platform?
• Focus on the RIGHT features, not ALL features. (minimum viable product)
• create a platform that gives people freedom and flexibility to innovate/include their own solutions, but still feels integrated and like a community. 

Site Architecture / Tech Details

• Stable site, easy to scale
• Easy to setup development environment
• the dreaded discussion - drupal, django, rails stone tablets...
  • this should happen after the features and capabilities discussion, and should follow from it. 
• Proper staging environment and QA

Find potential Tech Lead candidates

• Identify a few people who might be suitable to become P2PU Tech Lead (full-time) and invite them to Barcelona for (gentle) community vetting(eventually a paid gig?)

Discuss Tech Sprint Goals

• (What do we want to accomplish leading up to and during the tech sprint)
• Involve community in identifying relevant things to "build" during the tech sprint

Actions: 

• Have a discussion about this on p2pu-dev
• Outcomes pre-barcelona: list of features/capabilities/key architectural details (to be reviewed and agreed upon in person?)
• review batacuda code/status and decide whether it's something that's ready for us to build on it
• Everyone to think about tech sprint participants that might be interested / available to take on full-time position

=== In Barcelona / Face to face workshop ===

• Discuss main changes/decisions and come to closure (er, or beginning) on them-- ie move from planning to action (hacking). 
• Possible development/hacking focuses:
  • Batucada Experiment - Build something that is immediately useful to P2PU
  • Alternatively, see how much of a specific set of features we can re-implement in (say) django by just going nuts on it for 3 days.

Barcelona Outcomes:
Make it easier for other developers to hack / get involved (is this related to the dreaded discussion?)

• github repo
• regular irc channel/chat
• documentation on how to get involved
• documentation on whatever platform/features we are moving forward with
• regular sprint planning (adopt an informal agile development process?)
  • might be difficult with volunteers, but regular techsprint events (remote) would be good
