Weekly community meeting

["Erb, Stephan" <St...@blue-yonder.com>]

Hi everyone,

seems like we have been sloppy with the community meeting in the last weeks. It doesn't feel right to have a regular meeting that is skipped silently.

Any thoughts or ideas what we could do about that? 

Best Regards,
Stephan

It feels like there isn't much happening on the weekly basis to
warrant a discussion every Monday. Perhaps moving to a bi-weekly
schedule will recharge this meeting with more interesting content and
improve participation?

Also, Mondays are generally overloaded. I think having it on any other
day will make it easier to tune in. Just a thought.

I think it's worth raising the topic of whether to continue
regularly-scheduled meetings.  Given the distributed community, it is
difficult to find a time that routinely works for everyone.  Eliminating
this might also encourage more frequent use of the mailing list when
discussion topics arise, which I think would be better for everyone.

I agree with Maxim, a weekly meeting is too frequent relative to the
current activity on the project. I think changing it to bi-weekly schedule
would be better overall.

I'm in the activated list of freenode-cloaks, but I'm not able to start
meetings.

A registered nick and ASF cloak are required in order to kick off meetings
with asfbot, registration requests can be made at [1]. Currently for Aurora
dlester, jfarrell, kts, wfarner , and zmanji are the only ones who
are registered and setup to start the meetings

Re: Weekly community meeting

I agree that it's unfortunate we've missed a few meetings. Historically
speaking it's always been one of a few people who kick the meeting off, and
if those folks aren't available the meetings seem to not happen. That said,
I think we should take a more decentralized approach. We don't need to rely
on anyone in particular being around to kick the meeting off. Anyone who's
around at the scheduled time should feel free to start it. If you don't
have the karma necessary to get the bot to work, that's fine, just send out
manual notes.

That said, Jake, any idea what we need to do to ensure committers (or maybe
just PMC members, whatever) have the necessary ASFBot karma?
