3. stability / debugging - sometimes justpy just hangs
4. test suite / test first approach
5. resources - time and focus to fix issues
6. Hard to find out what the core functionality is how could justpy be more agnostic of libraries
7. Logging infrastructure
8. Process for Changing
9. Marketing missing?

....

How do we want to do it?
How to work collaboratively - someone should do it ...
Invite participants as collaborators - make Wolfgang maintainer to allow more participants

When to meet again / how often

• Do most of the work offline
• Meet online if necessary - adhoc - with some announcement
• Postpone decision for regular meetings

Marketing
Where do we want to position justpy?

Bigger organizations happily embrace the paradigm of separation of front-end and backend. As of now the justpy approach looks like a nice solution for people that have specials needs.

Who: Wolfgang Fahl - RWTH Aachen i5
Why: justpy is a good tool for prototyping see e.g http://wikidata.bitplan.com http://ceur-ws-browser.bitplan.com/
see also http://jpdemo.bitplan.com
Expectation: make justpy a well maintained platform
What to offer: SW architecture and requirements engineering expertise, continuous integration

[WolfgangFahl]

Sandra does not have her own account yet:
Who: Sandra Fahl, UoFA Edmonton, Mining
Why: potential python GUI platform for dashboards
Expectation: check potential for python
What to offer: don't know yet - depends ...

[rodja]

Who: Rodja Trappe and Falko Schindler, Zauberzeug GmbH
Why: we use JustPy as a basis for NiceGUI which itself is basis for many of our projects like RoSys, a framework for mobile robotics.
Expectation: keep JustPy alive and let it be a great core engine
What to offer: software engineering know-how, bugfixing, docker

[falkoschindler]

Working with Rodja at Zauberzeug GmbH, I have similar background, motivation, expectations. Having a stable JustPy core that we can augment with NiceGUI is my main objective.

[rodja]

We also wrote a small motor controller UI called odrive-gui which has been forked by Mawson Rovers to fit their own needs.

How unfortunate, but I didn't notice until now: All but the Berlin time are two hours off. So there might be folks from UK or US that missed our first meeting. 😕
