- Plan next bug day
- Bicycle toolkit
+Follow-up on summit goals
+-------------------------
+
+Didn't talk much. Thomas started a thread on discussing the functional areas,
+but he's sick currently.
+
+Bug-day
+-------
+
+We fixed the next bug day to Tuesday 2010-10-26. Christian promised to declare
+what he wants to work on in an announcement mail later today to make the bug
+day activities more visible.
+
+
+Bicycle toolkit
+---------------
+
+Christian mentioned that he finds the BTK seems to overlap with the goal to
+define functional areas. The BTK might be one of the functional areas. Thomas
+described one of the possible areas as "software architecture" - this might be
+identical with the BTK.
+
+
+Architecture/design documentation
+---------------------------------
+
+While talking about the bicycle toolkit a small discussion came up. Jim noted
+that he'd like a "sane way to talk about architecture" which caused multiple
+ideas and opinions to be stated.
+
+The basic desire is to have an architectural process/expression that provides
+enlightenment about design decisions.
+
+The points stated included:
+
+- some architectures are too big to express in a conversation or keep in your
+ head, so an oral tradition breaks down
+
+- people seem to understand an architecture better when it is written in a
+ domain they understand
+
+- having experience with a piece of software makes it easier to understand
+ existing designs in comparison to just reading about it
+
+- the documentation may be useful to reason about and review things like data
+ structures used, problems like index accumulation, and unnecessary
+ indirection
+
+- patterns may include parts of the solution, but specifically the community
+ around patterns seems to be focused on the wrong issues (jargon, blowing
+ smoke)
+
+- recording decisions and being able to relate and search problems and
+ solutions maybe be part of the puzzle
+
+
