That's a good question. It's a 36-hour IRC meeting, which mostly 
consists of shooting the breeze, given the choice of venue :]. Lately, 
however, some development discussion has been happening, probably partly 
because of the mailing lists being down. However, the meetathon has 
new-developer/user focus, IIRC. See the announcement from the last 
session for more info 
<http://subscribe.dotgnu.org/pipermail/developers/2002-June/003511.html>

The nicks are a little out-of-date, so you're warned :)

BTW, I want to wait on it because I will have no Internet access this 
weekend (not like 2 days is enough planning time anyway >:->)

Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy,
distribute, study, change and improve the software. More precisely, it
refers to four kinds of freedom, for the users of the software:

    * The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).
    * The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your
    needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition
    for this.
    * The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor
    (freedom 2).
    * The freedom to improve the program, and release your
    improvements to the public, so that the whole community
    benefits. (freedom 3). Access to the source code is a
    precondition for this.
