Check in on how we are working together
-DGOC has existed for 8 months or so -- how does everyone think it is working? Does the mtg format and logistics work for everyone? Are there ways we could improve?
-Val notes that progress on some of the bigger projects has been slow (dynamic database and social network), but there has been a lot of good accomplishments: successful survey of community, 2 user mtgs (RM mtg after SPARC, OR DSUG Mtg), Addon List is getting very close, good definition around requirements for dynamic database and social network)
-We will continue with the same format -- but please provide any feedback of what works well or doesn't work well to Val (Especially for those who weren't on the call, please send your feedback)
