the biggest issue right now is just what happens next.
the MMA is
going to sponsor a mailing list. the initial requirements gathering
phase of the process will be open to the public, but the current
thinking is that the design phase after that will be restricted to MMA
members. if that happens, i propose that LAD organizes to raise the
$450 or so that it would take to register a corporate membership of
some kind.
Agreed. I'l chip in my share. It may even be the thing that saves it from
totally excessive design-by-committee.
there was a slight air of "this is never going to
work" that hung in
the room, but at the same time, there was also a sense of "its time we
did this". the absence of digi was very notable - if they are really
the 800lb gorilla that everybody thinks they are, its a bit of a
problem.
I'm not convinced it will work myself, but we have to give it a try right?
digidesign, we had the whole group in that room. i
used to have
friends who could have bought most of the companies represented there
out of their own personal accounts :)) people planning on getting rich
in this field are out of their minds.
I'm just glad its not making me too poor ;)
