This has been already discussed on the list (https://lists.fedorahosted.org/pipermail/aeolus-devel/2012-November/013131.html) and also on the Aeolus Dev Conference, with no apparent agreement reached. Change state via PUTs, or model state as subresource, or something else? What about callbacks when state change is completed or fails?

Yes, really good, I was just going to start a mail thread collecting
agenda items. We'll use this instead.

Can I have a volunteer to be secretary for the first meeting? This means
clean up the etherpad in advance and email a version to the list, take
minutes during the meeting and email that to the list?

Thanks,
