Hi,
In the last Ironic meeting [1] we started a discussion about whether
we need to have a mid-cycle meeting for the Mitaka cycle or not. Some
ideas about the format of the midcycle were presented in that
conversation and this email is just a follow up on that conversation.
The ideas presented were:
1. Normal mid-cycle
Same format as the previous ones, the meetup will happen in a specific
venue somewhere in the world.
I would really want to see you all as often as possible. However, I
don't see much value in proper face-to-face mid-cycles as compared to
improving our day-to-day online communications.
2. Virtual mid-cycle
People doing a virtual hack session on IRC / google hangout /
others... Something like virtual sprints [2].
Actually we could do it more often that mid-cycles and with less
planning. Say, when we feel a need to. Face-to-face communication is the
most important part of a mid-cycle, so this choice is not an
alternative, just one more good thing we could do from time to time.
3. Coordinated regional mid-cycles
Having more than one meetup happening in different parts of the world
with a preferable time overlap between them so we could use video
conference for some hours each day to sync up what was done/discussed
on each of the meetups.
This sounds like a good compromise between not having a midcycle at all
(I include virtual sprints in this category too) and spending a big
budget on traveling overseas. I would try something like that.
4. Not having a mid-cycle at all
So, what people think about it? Should we have a mid-cycle for the
Mitaka release or not? If so, what format should we use?
Other ideas are also welcome.
