 The only downside is that they don't automatically generate logs of discussions like email lists and IRC channels.  The current core contributors and PSC members all live around Melbourne Florida and meet face to face on a regular basis.  The following procedures are implemented to enhance the communication and provide more transparency to the decision making process.
 
+The key developers have worked together for a number of years and have always worked by consensus.  Typically, the contributors are funded by government contracts that apply OSSIM and its derivative applications to various solutions.  Often their are requirements associated with these contracts to add additional capabilities.  These functional improvements typically are segregated into the appropriate OSSIM library or are segregated into a plugin module.  Generic improvements are typically applied in the core in such a way as not to induce platform specific dependencies.  System specific interfaces, interfaces to proprietary functionality are relegated to runtime plugin libraries.

 On average, face to face PSC meetings will be held in Melbourne once every two months.  Advance notification of these meetings will be posted on the mailing list.  Any OSSIM project member is welcome to join us for the meeting by simply notifying us by email so that lunch reservations can be made.
