[MTOS-dev] Dev Day on May 30 in San Francisco

[Niall Kennedy]

Hi Jen,
  The May 30 event covers MTOS-dev and its core platform focus. Expect
active planning around the next two major releases of MTOS in 2008. We
will likely have other events in the future for other facets of the
full platform.

  I break the full platform into four main audience and development targets:

 * Core development. The MT app and its related efficiencies.
 * Design. Administrative and visitor-facing UIE.
 * Extend. Plugin and template tag development and their related packages.
 * Integrate. Adding MT interfaces to third-party services (e.g. WL
Writer, Picasa).

  We need to start with the core, establish a roadmap and its
associated resource allocations, and then look for the best
integration checkpoints with external audiences. It may be more
advantageous to plan design outreach around 4.5 for example.

  Anyone is welcome to attend but I expect our May 30 meeting will
contain more Perl than pixels. If you would like to present on a
particular subject or share your wishlist for future MTOS features
based on your personal experiences the MTDay proposals section [1] is
a good place to share. If we don't cover your talk in this meeting we
may work it into a future target.
