Prepare your questions for this panel session with the folks who founded, built and maintain Orchard. Ask us about Orchard's roadmap, or lack thereof, about the features that you'd love to have (so that we can tell you it's a great idea for a module that you could build yourself - we'll show you how), about project governance, or about that pesky bug that you've hit so many times but that nobody else can reproduce. Remember, there are no bad questions, only excruciatingly detailed and/or comically evasive answers.
Minor release: only two features have been deprecated and/or burnt with fire.
Bug fixing release: this is the first stable release. We started to tell people that this is ok for real world usage.

You don’t build a healthy community by exploiting it to do your dirty work. You build a healthy community by empowering its members and letting them come up and develop their own ideas, even, or especially if they diverge from what you had in mind yourself.
In September, I had made a call to action… Build your own local communities, and spread the growth. I’ve talked about local communities, but there’s also user groups.
