I would like to get some feedback from people that do HelenOS development on the possibility to move or copy the round table part of the HelenOS meeting agenda to a Google hangout that would take place sometime before each meeting (Friday evening or Saturday morning of CET/CEST).
It's a good idea generally. I am not sure whether the suggested times are optimal (both Friday evening and Saturday morning people probably prefer to do other things than having a telco) and I am a little bit afraid that it might transform the traditional in-person meetings into the role of a purely social event (because of the lack of the round table), but it is definitively worth the try.
The hangout would have to have some rules to make sure it stays on topic and confined to a reasonable time frame, e.g. 1 hour.
Yes, definitively. A brief status update from everybody, with limited discussion. Longer discussions should be moved to the mailing list.
And of course, if the hangout turns out to be not necessary for any single occasion because there would be none of the remote developers joining in, the round table would take place off-line at the meeting and the hangout would be cancelled.
OK, this sounds reasonable.
As a local developer, would you be willing to first join the hangout and then attend the meeting?
Yes. But we should really agree on a better time first. Say Thursday evening?
