Meeting summary: Introductions
Here is the summary of the meeting as promised. I will post it by topic. Sub-topic prompts are in bold, people's names are in italics. If a person's response is not listed below the prompt then they had no response for that question (I didn't accidentally leave them out). Any times are EST.
Present at the beginning of the meeting were Venzon, thelusiv, _nan_, and zimluura (fudje joined later).
I hope I have accurately represented the meeting. Please post if you feel I've made some error. Message me if you want a full log of the meeting.
I will provide links to other topics for further discussion of those particular topics. Please use this thread for any comments on the meeting itself.
OK, let's begin the meeting. Please introduce yourself.

thelusiv: i think it was on happypenguin or linux game tome, which i read regularly at the time.
zimluura: found it on the internet, wanted a good car racing game for pc

What is your favorite thing about VDrift?
thelusiv: that is hard to say, but i guess what attracted me in the first place was that this racing simulator was fully open source *and* it had high-quality physics.
Venzon: it's a wide enough project that there are a lot of fun bits to work on
zimluura: that i can build stuff for it, and that, since it's opensource, it can evolve
_nan_: source code access ;)
