Florian Reisinger and Rainer Bielefeld took some initiatve to create 'virtual' QA Weekends over Skype etc. which is awesome, but maybe we need something a little more low key but regular to get things started. I still think something more interactive than the mailing lists would help QA to find an actionable consensus more quickly. A starting point maybe would be a QA chat that would be: - taking place on #libreoffice on IRC/freenode -- this also might help grow the QA community by `dragging in` some users hanging out there - be scheduled outside of (european) workhours (so that those who cannot join the call can join the chat meeting) - as the qa call is biweekly: making this chat meetings biweekly in the alternate weeks (when there is no call). As you might guess, I wont be able to lead such an initiative, but I would support anyone who wants to get this started. > Everyone can comment and brainstorm here. Right. And that certainly will be a valuable input in for the discussions on this in the QA calls and -- probably having the most impact on the progress/change of workflows -- the LibreOffice conference. Anyone discussing this here is seriously invited to join the conference. Note that there is travel refunding available, e.g. if you are giving a talk(*). The call for papers ends on August 15th, 2012.
