   I think it should be said that we need to meet more without any excuses
to work as a team to demonstrate the resources available under open source.
I saw some great things come out of Sundays demo that involved teamwork.  No
one player can function successfully on their own.  There can not be any
last minute decisions or changes which mean that decisions made during the
meeting prior to the demos  should take presedence.
    Anyone who doesnt show up for those meetings should yield to those who
have committed themselves to planning
the demo.  Everyones talent and expertise should be taken into account and
if they show up for the meetings they should be allowed to participate. What
other reason would anyone want to be part of a group or team.
