Thank you Greg!

Likewise it was great meeting all of you, and I am sorry I couldn’t stay longer for the discussions. I’m looking forward to the next meet up.

Hey all,

The meet up went well.  I REALLY enjoyed meeting everyone and I found the discussion very interesting and productive.   I took notes during the meeting.  We did not have an agenda so these points came up naturally.  I have noted who brought them up.  Riccardo joined later, so I took down his thoughts.   I am glad we did this and am very much looking forward to the next time. 

So, for your comment and review here are the notes:

* Website (David Wetzel - DW)
    * Need to have the website present a solution for installing GNUstep quickly.  Make a script…
    * tutorials to get from to hello world quickly
    * (Riccardo M. - RM) Discuss with Riccardo what changes are needed.
* Usability (DW)
    * More command line interfaces
    * Terminal based environment
        * Terminal only based tutorial
* GCC vs. LLVM/Clang (DW)
    * Clang has an advantage because ObjC is more of a focus
    * Fred: Is it possible to get  gcc up to spec? 
        * Require time from GS developers?  
            * Who should do it?
            * Will GCC accept our patches?
            * RMS asked, and GCC said they would review our patches with “kinder” eye.
    * Issues with libobjc2 - (RM) - This is a consistent issue on a lot of platforms.  LLVM/Clang Doesn’t work on ALL platforms.
        * Doesn’t work NetBSD
        * uses CMAKE, but would be better using STRAIGHT make as CMAKE is not available or not easy to configure
* Cairo - Problems (Fred Kiefer - FK)
    * unmaintained — should we move to another library??
    * Can we replace the current Cairo with a hw accelerated library? Or any other commonly used library that is maintained!?
* Cocotron (FK)
    * Can we use any Cocotron code?
    * MIT based.  So we may be able to reuse some of their code or take ideas from their code.

I will be posting these to the wiki or to the website soon.
Yours, GC
