IRC meetings have many advantages in an open project: low barrier of access, easier to understand for non-native speakers, meeting log is archivable and searchable, and more inviting for the project. For phone meetings, do you publish the audio recording? That is not optimal, but at least it allows for someone to transcribe the discussion. > All the results of the calls are documented in the wiki pages of the > different features and being reflected in the different mailing threads > that we have. > Having said that I think it is time to reconsider the decision because > we are soon moving to a stabilization cycle before May's release. > I suggest we'll have our next meeting on IRC and see how it goes. > Thanks, Livnat Cheers - Karsten > _______________________________________________ > Engine-devel mailing list > Engine-devel(a)ovirt.org > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/engine-devel _______________________________________________ Engine-devel mailing list Engine-devel(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/engine-devel

That's great, and I agree that it is all being done very transparently. One thing that an IRC meeting provides is a record of the process - the discussions that leads to decisions. (That's harder to capture with audio, so we usually stick with documenting decisions and what we remember of why.) Also, the IRC channel has many people on it lurking, who learn from the meeting, and may occasionally have useful input. - Karsten _______________________________________________ Engine-devel mailing list Engine-devel(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/engine-devel

We could, but I think #ovirt is quiet enough that folks won't mind if we do a b it of testing there. I can meet with you for testing, and I'll be sure to attend the Engine meeting on IRC and help with the meetbot until you don't need me anymore. :) - Karsten
