Hi folks
My best time is over the weekend. I would like to hold this over Skype which will allow us to talk as well as IM each other. I can record my screen during this meeting and make it available for anyone who wants to view it later. Of course if you cannot make it for the meeting we can continue the discussion in the RC forums the week following the meeting.
IRC would be an option as well. I'm not sure if everybody is willing to publish his Skype name. There's a #roundcube room registered at freenode. I vote for IRC because everybody can just enter the discussion easily.
Well, an alternative could be Teamspeak. Nobody would have to publish his name, and possibly the quality would be better, afaik, if you want to talk to a group in skype, its a peer to peer connection, which could be kinda slow.
But IRC would be more easy, and possibly more flexible. But maybe a combination of booth would make sense. Theres a point against teamspeak, iirc it does not work with arts/esd on linux, which could be a problem for linux users.
Every contributor is pleased to add his name here: http://trac.roundcube.net/trac.cgi/wiki/Dev_Members
You can also create a detail page (as I did) with additional information about your skills, location (with timezone) and contact details.
I will, but it would be more sensefull to do this after this meeting. I'm working for a customer atm, but the job will be done hopefully at the end of this week - then I'll have some looks at some bugs which should be fixed.
I understand we are all in different timezones, so it may make sense to try to assign teams based on location. Once the teams are in place there can be team meetings at a more appropriate team for their region. Before each meeting the team lead can post the agenda for the meeting along with the time. And after each meeting the team lead will post a summary of the discussion to keep everyone up to date.
I'm not sure if the number of contributors is big enough to divide it into several teams. We'll see.
Well, but it would make sense anyway. Maybe, some contributors could work in two teams, but dividing into groups really makes sense, from my point of view.
Greetings, Christian
