[edit] Agenda

Call To Order:

OLD BUSINESS:

NEW BUSINESS:

Can the default be the best imagery available? Specifically I refer to ZoomIt and OneEarth. First-time users are naive ("D'Oh!") (Homer, shut up) so we should make the default give them the best imagery. Let's face it: the first place everybody tries to visit is their dwelling-place.(nelson)
Apropos the previous agenda item, when people zoom in "too far", they should see a message telling them how to get better imagery. Maybe they need to turn on a layer which covers the area they're looking at; maybe they need to lobby their government to release imagery. But rather than leaving them staring at unusably blurry images, we should tell them what they need to do.(nelson)
State of 1.3.4, set a date for all submissions for the beta to be completed, should we wait for any of the new datasets before releasing 1.3.4? (Bull)
