About the Meeting: The purpose of this meeting is for Tremulous & Unvanquished players/devs/admins/leaders to discuss and brainstorm with each other the following issues:
What are the current functions, projects, and goals of Acidtu.be?
What are the current functions, projects, and goals of New Edge?
What are the current status, and objectives of Unvanquished?
What are our common interests/goals, both short term and long term, and how can we pull our resources together to help our common interests/goals?
How can we unify the Tremulous GPP, Tremulous 1.1, and Unvanquished communities to expand our community and player base, as well as encourage collaboration?
How can we attract new players that have never played any Tremulous based game before, and how can we encourage them to stay after trying Tremulous and/or Unvanquished?
How can we continue to improve the game experience for the existing player base?
The meeting would start with an introduction of Acidtu.be by the Acidtu.be site administrators, then with an introduction of New Edge by New Edge site administrators. The discussions would commence after the introductions.
After the live irc meeting is over, a copy of the irc chat log for the meeting will be posted on the Unvanquished forums, where the conversation will continue, and allow interested people unable to attend the meeting the opportunity to contribute to the conversation.
