Thanks :)

I agree.

Agreed.  The first meeting will dictate approximately how many people will
be willing to attend.  For all I know, only Jared and I will be the only
ones in the conference :)

I agree.  This is why I was trying to think of the best way of recording
what was discussed.  I am willing to take minutes of the meeting unless
someone else volunteers.  Maybe we should have a couple of people to do
this?  I've never taken minutes of a meeting before.

I also agree.  I think the minutes of the meeting idea is a much better way.
They can then be posted to the asterisk-doc mailing list along with the
asteriskdocs.org website.
