Though not always fast or easy, meetings are a necessary part of doing distributed decentralized work in open and public ways. I don't think everyone on this list, or elsewhere Fedora, feels the same way about meetings as you do MarkDude. We must not diminish the time and effort that contributors put into making meetings happen, which almost always have public agendas that are open to contributions and suggestions, should you feel they are not maximally productive. I would point to the Fedora Design team's re-worked meeting protocol as a model for keeping meetings focused, task oriented, and ticket-driven (described by mizmo here): https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/the-state-of-fedoras-design-team/ >> Your are implicitly powered, as a member of the Fedora community, to >> dive in an contribute.

I think that funding and budgetary requests--though an important issue--are somewhat out of scope for this thread. If you would like to comment on budget impact and reciprocity, please see my most recent requests to the Ambassadors--whom the Fedora Council and Ambassador Steering Committee have empowered to spend (and report) their own regional budgets as they see fit. I'm still waiting on either reports, proposals, or delegation selections from each region, which are necessary for us to continue budget planning and allocation for FY17: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/ambassadors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/thread/GQTDW23QIJYYSDMJEX7GLN5WAZ5SEMWU/ Thank you jbishop for taking the initiative on this ticket to help bring more light to the places where Fedora is having a positive impact outside of our community. This is an important role that members of the CommOps team serve in the project, and can potentially make a big difference :) --RemyD. -- Remy DeCausemaker Fedora Community Lead & Council <decause@xxxxxxxxxx> https://whatcanidoforfedora.org -- marketing mailing list marketing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/marketing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
