I'll be there as well, and would like to attend if possible (assuming no agenda clash). Regarding the agenda, I think the most urgent task now is figuring out what we want to achieve and find an as large as possible consensus. The "centralisation resistance" movement is quite fragmented, leading to little traction and a high level of doubt from third parties that we would be able to achieve anything. Crucial to test effort is, I believe, a need to acknowledge all the pain experienced by developers and maintainers who are considering moving to forges, and making sure we take into account their use cases. I also would like to use that opportunity to discuss what we really mean by "e-mail workflow". Many developers on this list have expressed a need for an e-mail-compatible solution, and I really wonder if they meant e-mail as such, or if e-mail is more of an umbrella term that summarises the current advantages of e-mail that could also be provided by new tools that we would develop. -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart
