I also agree with Bob that the subject of when and where to have meetings is something the new FDSCo should decide. To follow on what I wrote below, I personally have no problem with more than one meeting at the same time, as long as it is on IRC. I am much more concerned with losing the visibility and ease of participation by the Documentation Project, than I am about making it easier for people outside of the project to see/participate in the meetings. If we did this, I would find myself wanting all of the people on #fedora-docs to also be on #fedora-meeting. Having people able to read the IRC log is all fine, but that is a log not a conversation. If we move our meetings to where the conversations are not happening, we lose that involvement. One of the ways we have gained leaders in this project has been through people who hang out on IRC together and then participate in our meetings. I fear this would be diminished with us moving meetings to a different channel, and I don't see it giving that much advantage to people inside of the project. 04:55 < quaid> hmmm 04:55 < quaid> I'm not sure it's a good idea 04:55 < quaid> there is a loss of momentum in the source channel 04:56 < quaid> people who have come to expect to be in #foo, etc. 04:56 < quaid> and the only gain i see is that there is one schedule people can come to know when there are meetings 04:56 < quaid> and that can be done anyway, without forcing a single channel on all meetings 04:56 < quaid> also, what happens when two meetings need to use the channel at the same time? 04:56 < quaid> then you have to route people to another channel (a third channel, now?) 04:57 * quaid also can't see 1/4 of that table due to the Wiki nav 04:57 < quaid> so i guess one wouldn't want a meeting during the time when the one meeting page can't display it, eh? 04:57 < quaid> I'm all for consolidation where it makes sense 04:57 < mether> quaid: point is that we dont want seveal meetings on the same time 04:57 < quaid> but I think there has been a recent wave of consolidation for no reason 04:58 < mether> or perhaps you have different values 04:58 < quaid> e.g. the two docs tracks/discussions at FUDCon actually didn't belong together, and because we combined them, we lost the second discussion entirely/. 04:58 < quaid> etc. -- Karsten Wade, RHCE, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
