Agenda
======
* Introduction of participants & Updates
* Review IG Charge (below)
* Proposals for conference programs and/or preconferences
* We will follow the usual format of introducing ourselves and sharing
our involvement and/or interest in open source.

I would like to review the charge.  Does this reflect the needs of the
attendees?

Charge: To encourage active participation in the open source community
through developing, adapting, improving and fixing open source
solutions for use in libraries. To promote the use of open source in
libraries through education, distribution, and creating support
structures to assist with appropriate implementation. To advocate for
the development of appropriate standards and policies that are true to
the spirit of the open source movement.

Finally, we will consider proposals for programs or preconferences at
future ALA conferences.
