Looping in Sebastian Sickelmann. We did meet and this is the thread for 
the follow-up. The meeting was a good kick off to get some faces to 
names and state a common goal.

As I said on the meeting, for those of you who didn't attend my BOF, 
please review the slides in the excerpt I've attached and listen to the 
BOF recording (make sure to click the link under "Media"). Slides 
explained in the recording at 5:40 and 7:15 are the most important, 
although you get some good context in the rest of the session as well.
Share with people close to you and let me know if there is something 
that doesn't makes sense, it's just to make sure we're aiming at the 
same thing.

Regarding Ben's questions
1) I will come to Devoxx, Wed mid day
2) I propose we discuss infrastructure (both building and testing) in 
the group "Build" and then discuss testing in the group "Quality" since 
it requires slightly different compentence.

Looking forward working with you all, think we have a good ground for 
discussions regarding the basic requirements of this!
