And more responses to the list! I think all of our conversations have 
been moved by now. I will check.

Note that once deployments start, support-engineering and 
development-engineering are going to be quite different things. (Make 
existing tech work on the ground, vs develop new tech.)

Also note that development-engineering may mainly be work upstream in 
the main Sugar Labs (or whatever) projects - I do not really see us 
having to write a lot of Philippines-specific code (...I honestly can't 
think of any examples of why we'd need to do this at the moment. Can 
anybody?)

If someone reminds me at the meeting, I would be happy to make sure the 
meeting gets logged.

I actually don't know where and when the meeting is. Can someone clarify?
