IMHO, in Apache email and irc are considered as preferred mediums of communications. The main reason for that is the developer and user community are scattered a lot geographically and as they are on volunteer based might not be able to commit to fixed timing like this. However, I see that for people in Salzburg Research this might be the most efficient way to move forward. However, in the long run when the community grows with developers and users outside Salzburg Research, this won't be a sustainable way to move forward.
We started with these sprints for the following two weeks in order to achieve the release of LMF 2.4 before proceeding with the importation into the ASF infrastructure. The idea is to push to get such important milestone asap.
One suggestion would be to drop an email to the list of anything important mentioned in the meeting (I don't thing there is need to send a daily update to the list each day as progress of the issues will be tracked in JIRA). It is important that all the discussions regarding the development happens in the mailing list as much as possible so that they are archived and available for any user / developer later on. It also gives the chance to anyone interested to jump in and express their opinion.
Anyway, any important decision or discussion in such daily meetings will be shared using the common communication tools (mainly mailing list or jira), right, that was always in our minds.
Thanks for your comments. Cheers, -- Sergio Fernández Salzburg Research +43 662 2288 318 Jakob-Haringer Strasse 5/II A-5020 Salzburg (Austria) http://www.salzburgresearch.at
