All:

There has been some discussion lately of dropping the weekly status/sync meeting on Wednesdays in favor of a less formal set of IRC office hour sessions.

The current suggestion is that these office hours will be held for set half-hour periods, moderated by a rotation of community members. Discussions should be open, answering all questions and discussing any cross-team/community-wide issues as needed.

Tentatively, these would be held twice a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Probably one set for an optimal West Asia/Europe time slot, and another more suited for North and South America. Ideally, a potential third meeting time would help cover East Asia and Australia.

Thoughts on this are welcome... we would like to move forward with the new format in May.

I think this might actually improve the situation. today I have the impression there are many times questions asked via IRC when no one is really online and no one can answer them, but even if you say: post this to the ML or to BZ, those questions/bugs to tend to not show there up. I just fear that half an hour might be a really short time if you have a hard problem, but otoh you at least get the initial discussion kicked of and can follow up on that via mail or bugzilla or further irc sessions. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Regards Sven Kieske Systemadministrator Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co.
