Could a vote on merging the livecd and bootcd(no cab file) be put up in the meeting? The mailing list has not really been an indicator of what everyone wants. I suppose a ram disk could be used and install from a cab. Though I know nothing about how this would work and if this could be implemented in the 2 to 3 weeks that could be spent on merging the discs.
Advantages -Only build and maintain one cd. -Saves space on server(not having to build and save 2 discs) -No confusion about what cd someone installed from. -Simple to implement as opposed to a ram disk. to install everything to from a cab.
Disadvantages -To download an iso to just install will be larger(A compressed version could counter this. Though it's not ideal)

Hi folks,
As proposed in our urgent meeting in February, we are going to have regular meetings at 20:00 UTC on the last Thursday of every month. Next Thursday will be the first time to hold such a meeting.
While I was preparing the technical side (we're going to have a dedicated IRC server with voting capabilities this time), Amine and Victor have come up with a meeting agenda. We have agreed on the following points in this order:
- ReactOS member definition. Proposal is not to establish a fixed
definition, but decide upon always keeping a list of people and just giving hints on how you can get on this list
- Current ReactOS work. Developers saying what they are working on
- Status of our GSoC participation, in particular students and mentors
- Upcoming LinuxTag event on 11th to 14th May
- Sum up of previous events, ideas for next ones
- Website revamp. Current status, who is working, who is willing to help
You see that the list is more about inquiring and getting information than doing vital decisions this time. The agenda is also prioritized so that people may leave if they don't want to participate in website discussions for example. If nobody else volunteers, Amine would be in the minute taker position again and I would take the meeting leader role.
My current list of ReactOS members is as follows. Only these people will be able to participate in the discussions and votings, so please tell me if I have forgotten anybody or if you want to be added to this list:
- Giannis Adamopoulos (smiley1_)
- Johannes Anderwald (janderwald)
- Javier Agustìn Fernàndez Arroyo (elhoir)
- Maciej Bialas (niski)
- Aleksey Bragin (abragin)
- Colin Finck (Colin_Finck)
- Danny Götte (dangerground)
- Cameron Gutman (aicom)
- Ziliang Guo (ZWabbit)
- Rafal Harabien (rafalh)
- Kamil Hornicek (Pigglesworth)
- Amine Khaldi (AmineKhaldi)
- Timo Kreuzer (tkreuzer)
- Matthias Kupfer (Collibri)
- Michael Martin (mjmartin)
- Victor Martinez (vicmarcal)
- Roel Messiant (Mephisto)
- Andrew Munger (WaxDragon)
- Ged Murphy (GedMurphy)
- Sylvain Petreolle (Usurp)
- Hervé Poussineau (hpoussin)
- Daniel Reimer (dreimer)
- Pierre Schweitzer (HeisSpiter)
- Samuel Serapion (encoded)
- Olaf Siejka (Caemyr)
- James Tabor (jimtabor)
- Art Yerkes (arty)
Everybody may join the meeting channel as a non-participating observer though. I'll hand you all connection details when we're ready.
With best regards,
Colin
