P.S. By the way, unless you plan to change meeting time from 20:00 UTC to 19:00 UTC to accommodate daylight savings time changes, we're going to have a problem here. Normally, Project meetings for me are 1-3 p.m. With today's time change in the U.S., that means 20:00 is now 3 p.m. which is much later in the day than I would like to be sitting in on a meeting, and later than any meeting we've had in the past. Same for everyone else, whatever 20:00 UTC means in their timezone once their time shifts. Bryen On Thu, 2012-03-08 at 22:33 +0100, Pascal Bleser wrote:
I'd like to propose or at least discuss dropping the bi-weekly openSUSE project meetings on IRC.
Reasons are: * because of timezones, work/family/etc, only a handful of people is able to attend the meetings (and there is no solution to that); * as far as I've been attending those meetings (so that's a few years now already), there have always been 5 or 6 people who have participated (aside from the board team); * there is nothing that is discussed there that couldn't be discussed on the opensuse-project mailing list instead.
Now, that meeting also acts as a board meeting, but * the board can still meet, that's up to the board team to define; * anyone can poke the board team any time via email or poke us individually on IRC; * as far as transparency is concerned, we can, should and will publish emails about our decisions and our work anyway.
Any reason to keep the IRC project meetings? I don't see any, even though I'm quite fond of IRC ;)
cheers
