Hello,

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);
Yes, known bug. OTOH, we tried alternating meeting times in the past and IIRC we didn't get more or different people attending. So either the wrong time was chosen or the people in other timezones didn't want to join for whatever reason.
So let me ask a questions to the readers of this mailinglist:
If you do _not_ attend the IRC meetings - WHY?
"Meetings, bloody meetings" (John Cleese). There are too many, IRC is a poor medium and the agenda rarely has topics I'm interested in.
* there is nothing that is discussed there that couldn't be discussed on the opensuse-project mailing list instead.
Sure? For example we wouldn't know that Henne thought it's already summertime without the last IRC meeting *eg*
Any reason to keep the IRC project meetings? I don't see any, even though I'm quite fond of IRC ;)
The IRC meeting has a big advantage: Speed. One hour of IRC meeting replaces a week of mailinglist discussions.
Perhaps because people stay away due to timing. By using a mailing list, everyone can take part when it suits them. I don't think it would be a good idea to use the current list, I think it would be better to create a separate list for just that meeting.
Hello, I for my part would keep the IRC-Meetings for the mentioned advantage of real-time discussion of topics, but that’s only my opinion. And something I got asked from someone in the community that should be considered: How do you want to get the infos to interested people like e.g. bloggers who don’t want to subscribe to the mailinglists? Or do you want to keep them in the dark? -- Marcel Kühlhorn freenode: tux93 Have a lot of fun!
