I'm reading through the logs from yesterday, and I notice that there were very few people at #parrotsketch. Looks like there are only 4 people really participating in the meeting. A handful of other people posted reports before the meeting or at the very beginning of it, but they didn't participate through the meeting itself. The last two meetings were exceptional (last week was the big to-do about the teams proposal. The week before Rakudo was being hit by severe performance problems in 2.9). Before that, it's looking to me like most meetings were only drawing a half dozen participants or less. I don't know what our target participation goals are, but 6 developers or fewer really does not seem high enough to be the attendance of a "typical" design meeting.
I haven't been able to attend #ps meetings myself since daylight savings time changed. I have a lengthy commute, and now the meeting falls directly in the middle of it. I haven't made a big deal about it because no matter what time we schedule for, there will be some people who can always attend and some people who can never attend. This is just my time to "never attend", and I wouldn't suggest moving meeting times only on my account. If the current timing works well for everybody but myself I'm happy to sit it out and read logs after the fact. However, if the timing is also not working well for other people, maybe we need to move it. Can we get maybe a show of hands for people who regularly cannot attend #ps due to timing conflicts? Can we get a list of people who can only really attend at the current time? Any other ideas for factors that might be affecting turn-out? --Andrew Whitworth _______________________________________________ http://lists.parrot.org/mailman/listinfo/parrot-dev
