Overall, I think that our Paid Developers are interacting much less now than what happened a year ago, which I think is bad. I'm not sure if there some evil plan behind it to make us community members be more involved, if our developers feel bored interacting with us little people, if they are too busy with SLE development or what... One would wish for the devs to enjoy hanging out with us, help out when needed etc, but since I don't know what happened, I can't make a suggestion on how to get them back...
I have no good explanation for that. I definitely miss the weekly meetings. Although I would agree the last few weekly meetings where we always had the same topics were bad, the "real good" weekly meetings were useful to create this link on the channel.
I'm not sure where I heard the idea (I think it was Rodrigo), but it sounded good: if we don't have a topic to discuss at a meeting, then let's still use this time to do something like bug triaging, or helping people package stuff, or...
yeah, it was me :) Indeed I think we should use the weekly time for meetings for all this stuff. Thus, people know that every Thursday there is a chance to volunteer for something. We could have normal meetings every 2 weeks and the other 2 use the time slot (or a bigger slot) for bug triaging, patch upstreaming, etc But what I think we really need is to create some sort of "teams". That is a bug triaging team dedicated to organise the bug triaging, a patch upstreaming team, etc. All those with a couple of people responsible for getting the work done, creating pages on the wiki with information, driving the bug/patch/etc days, etc. If we get these to be ongoing projects, rather than just once in a while, it should be easier and more productive to manage. -- Rodrigo Moya <rodrigo@novell.com> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
