Unfortunately it looks like we're going to have to pass on this one, since we don't have anyone who'd be able to moderate the session - unless someone would like to step up now?
The role of the "moderator" maybe sounds more complicated than what we expect, which is:
Somebody to a) give a short introduction on the topic (~20 minutes) so that 'newcomers' know what the project is about and how the big parts relate to one another b) prepare some tasks (from open bugs to new feature ideas) c) help people (especially newcomers) to start working on some of those tasks (this is probably the hardest thing...)
So maybe somebody (or even several people, if they can agree on sharing the available funding (up to 500 Euros)) now wants to step up and submit a proposal (which doesn't have to be a full-fleged business plan, a short description of OpenGuides and several tasks / TODOs should be enough)
