We could consider the idea of a fortnightly, monthly, or bimonthly formal meeting online somewhere. As long as sufficient advance warning of said meeting is advertised to enough channels, and with sufficient calls for agenda items, and sufficient advance notice of agenda items, in conjunction with archived copies of formal meeting logs and log summaries ("outcomes"), it could be useful. As I imagine that as long as we had them regularly scheduled and at a well defined time, people who had vested interest in participation could factor it into their scheduling if they're not able to keep on top of all the things we do in an informal manner. This would also double as a kind of transparency provider for people outside the echo-chamber, as the logs and summaries would be something 3rd parties/vendors/LWN/etc could cite, whereas the overall nature of toolchain at present is mostly "secret" if you're not part of the constant IRC conversation. ( Of which a lot of is not relevant to outsiders, and is merely dealing with specific and localised problems, not wider ones ) I think such a strategy (or similar) would be a good adjunct to the yearly summits, and at considerably lower cost and time investment. -- Kent KENTNL - https://metacpan.org/author/KENTNLThread Previous | Thread Next
