Re: Will your Community Group meet during TPAC 2016?

Thank you Lars!

Well, as chair, I felt that my role was mostly to gather the views of the
group members, and facilitate self organization around the same. but  since
has not been working much maybe we (Martin and I) should try to take more
responsibility towards making things happen.

Keeping the group running is no effort, but its pointless unless enough
members commit to goals and to activities to achieve the goals.

Roberto says he has entered some stuff in the DOC to summarise some of his
recent activities, so what we can do
is review whatever has been entered in the forms plus recent activities and
see if we can make something out of it
to justfiy keeping the group open.

The desire (and need) to work towards a unversal intelligent interface
guidelines for the internet of things is still open I think whether we have
the resources to make it happen here now, not sure

Before closing the group we ll have a think and a chat with other relate
groups perhaps

thoughts and suggestions welcome
