Right, we jump over backwards to discuss strategy openly in the KDE IRC meetings. I notice that many people active in the KDE3/4 thread aren't at those meetings, so maybe we need to work on the perception of our openness.
Just to add me to the list of those that are unable to attend, and even on rare days that timing is right (vacation), I type to slow for IRC. I'm not sure why is such pressure to use IRC when it has one major problem for world wide community, time zones. Having more meetings in different times doesn't solve the problem how to synchronize discussions and decisions, and how to bring in relevant people that can give answers. Look at the map: http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Community/Map and see distribution of users. It is not exact, but it is for sure proportional to actual number of people using openSUSE. For North America alone is not easy to find good time on a work day. IRC might be option for the weekend, but even it is not easy to synchronize all. The only soultion is email as we use it now, or forums.opensuse.org with new forum Meetings that will have somewhat different rules than the rest to accommodate dependable access via NNTP interface. -- Regards, Rajko --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
