Both Okra and you convinced me with:

"I'm well aware the other time slot allows for North Americans but it will
then cut out anyone else.  That's the point I was making - there is going
to be little crossover. between the two groups of people meeting - and I
don't think that is a good thing."

"Just reminding you, UTC + 20 means that there will likely be noone  else part
of the meeting beside US people."

People of late have been pointing fingers at me saying I don't listen, and I
never change my mind and that it's impossible to do so etc. (despite me pointing
at examples othrwise), and here these points seem really important and creating
basically 2 groups sounds pretty bad to me and devalues the meetings
significantly and will create friction etc.

That is why i suggested the time we already used. for the prior IRC meetings.
we could shuffle by one hour 1. a single time and see how it goes. see my other
mails in this thread.

This is right. it's not the whole meeting thing that I am against. it's 2 time
slots that lead to 2 disparate groups. i don't want 2 groups. i don't want to
encourage things to divide up like that. after this has been discussed i
changed my mind on 2 slots because of exactly this point and i think 1 slot is
better and people just have to make it. 7/8am pacific us time and about
midnight jp/kr and 1am aus eastern time (and people in between have it easier)
is doable for most people. nothing at 2, 3, 4, or 5 in the morning (well unless
you re in hawaii or nz etc. ... but that's the least of the population).

i'm just saying that i see a slot there that can work for everyone if they make
a bit of effort and we don't divide people up.

I am for one happy that you took the initiative to get some things started 
(calendar entry, wiki page for minutes, etc)

Going through this thread makes me wonder why we need to have like 30 mails 
discussion about the perfect time for the meeting.
I really think this can be fine-tuned over time (echoing Mike here) as the need 
comes up.
Right no we should just go with a time that fits the people _we know_ attending.

We should focus on having an agenda to talk about to actually achieve something 
with this meetings and have an irc log and minutes later on.
Without having this and some actual meetings happened the whole discussion on a 
complicated schedule is really mood. If we do not meeting
content which is worthwhile nobody will show up no matter how convenient the 
time is for them.

Marcel took the step to setup time, agenda, etc for this meeting. Let's honor 
this and see during the meeting if the time needs to change
for the people actually attending.

Stefan Schmidt

I uncancelled the event.

Have this meeting since it was already scheduled, discussion and
fine-tuning of schedule can continue independently. If a change is decided
on, the schedule can be altered later.

The change is likely due to conceptual vs reality. At first likely
sounded like the best approach conceptually. Then in reality once
applied, it was deemed to not work out well. Thus the change in
support. Nothing to get discouraged over.

If anything may consider a rotating time. One meeting at a given time,
then the next in a couple weeks at a different time. That way people can
make both, and each is having to make equal sacrifices. Late/early,
which flips for the next meeting.

This is not to cater to time zones, as previously suggested and
attempted. But to make the suffering equal. Ideally at least one of
those all should attend, if not both.

I think 12 hrs apart is likely the wrong option, if you divide the world
into approximately 3 time areas based loosely on working hours: Europe,
US and Asia. 2 of the 3 will be able to make 1 meeting easily while the
other would make the second. If the meetings had an 8 hr offset like I
think the 2 most suggested times were, then it would be easy for 2 out
of 3 timezones to get to one meeting and another 2 out of 3 to go to the
second and there would be plenty of ovarlap between the 2 meetings

 Meetings are captured with a IRC logger.

 After the meetings the log is uploaded to the wiki same as the contents

 After that the wiki link can be sent to the mailinglists as reminder of

i have to agree that  doing it so that you end up with basically 2 disparate
groups is bad. it's not a meeting then. we may as well just do things by mail
if people have to "read the minutes later and then respond". you end up with an
email-like back and forth between meeting groups.

i say 1 time, and you make it, or you don't. if you care you make the time
(stay up very late or get up early and sacrifice sleep). of course people have
other things too in their lives, but this will just be dysfunctional if we end
up dividing meeting groups up. and this was a good point. pick one time when
most can make it with some effort.

the previous 15:00 UTC slot seems to be about as good as it gets i think.

Re: [E-devel] RFC unforgettable weekly meetings

2018-05-14 Thread Mike Blumenkrantz
To be clear, my original point regarding a 12 hour difference between the
meetings assumes that the selected times are viable for everyone and that
it engages the maximum number of contributors: it's easier to remember a
meeting time if it's always at the same numerical hour.

In the case where a 12 hour flip is not ideal for this then there is no
sense in forcing it.

I dont have strong feelings if its either shifted by 12h or by something 
else. Just reminding you, UTC + 20 means that there will likely be noone 
else part of the meeting beside US people. I dont want to propose that 
some timezone needs to be active in both meethings, but it could 
definitly help to have a few voices in both meetings, so things dont go

Okay, then lets say that we meet at the first full week and every third 
full week, always on Tuesday and Thursday.

On the first week Tuesday is at UTC + 8 and Thursday at UTC + 16.
In the third week Tuesday is at UTC + 16 and Thursday at UTC + 8.
(This month however is a exception and we start this scheudule first 
fully in June.)


Meetings are captured with a IRC logger.
A few people can write the meeting minutes into http://collabedit.com.

After the meetings the log is uploaded to the wiki same as the contents

so one is 1am/4am PDT/EDT an the other is 9am/12pm PDT/EDT. (CDT being in

:) so they keep flipping between 2 times to try and let everyone attend

at

Re: [E-devel] RFC unforgettable weekly meetings

2018-05-11 Thread Mike Blumenkrantz
This is actually similar to how many projects organize their meetings.
Having two separate meetings at "opposite" times allows everyone to have a
choice of meetings to attend with at least one of the times being optimal
for any given location. Using proper recording methods, everyone is then
able to see what happened at each meeting. In the meeting procedures page
(which should exist if it doesn't already), it should be documented that
the meeting notes should be sent to all related channels/lists after each
meeting to promote community involvement.

I think that if everyone is okay with at least one of these times then this
is fine, though it should be noted that this time schedule makes it awkward
for any particular region to attend both meetings; traditionally the time
rotates exactly 12 hours so that at least one timezone is capable of
attending every meeting.

The only adjustment I would make is that the meetings should be moved to
weekly in this case. If the meeting times rotate and are set for every two
weeks, this means that each group meets only once a month--hardly as useful.

Re: [E-devel] RFC unforgettable weekly meetings

2018-05-11 Thread Stephen Houston
Perhaps we should -- otherwise I see people voting and making decisions in
one group that the other group would not agree to at all, as well as the
fact that the North American group is pretty heavily E devs and the
European/Asian group is pretty heavily interfaces/EFL ... without crossover
there I just foresee that being a problem. We can still have two meetings,
but just make the time slot a little more reasonable for each so there is
at least the opportunity for crossover, or we can go back to one, or we can
just leave it as is and see what happens.

in that case we should only have 1 time slot and "deal with it" because if you
have 2, people will attend the one that easier for them and skip the other. you
force people who want to participate to adapt to a single slot so there is no
"lack of crossover".

I'm well aware the other time slot allows for North Americans but it will
then cut out anyone else.  That's the point I was making - there is going
to be little crossover. between the two groups of people meeting - and I
don't think that is a good thing.

ummm you need to look at the other time slot too. i don't think we're going to
do 2hrs each...

https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/?pl=1&lid=100,8,5,1850147&h=100

so one is 1am/4am PDT/EDT an the other is 9am/12pm PDT/EDT. (CDT being in
between). and note on the other end with Japan (and Korea etc.) time.

:) so they keep flipping between 2 times to try and let everyone attend at
least once a month.

People can collaborative write that together, as a few might want to 
have other things noted down as others. At the end of the meeting things 
just end up in the wiki page :) (As Mike said :))



you were talking as if people need to have it explained to them what minutes
are:

"Typically for meetings where items of substance are discussed, the minutes

Yeah which is ok, as i have never ever heared from that before :)


marcel already said:

"But i agree in general that there should be a wiki page for monitoring
contents of the meetings and some them up."

... so again. i see no reason why minutes will not be taken and recorded.


Aside from the visibility issue (there should be a defined and documented
page on the wiki/site where all of the minutes/logs from meetings can be
found), here is an example of "good" minute-taking from a meeting that I
was present in: https://github.com/servo/servo/wiki/Meeting-2015-05-18 .
Note that this was a phone conference meeting, so someone was required to
more or less sit out of the meeting to transcribe its contents onto an
etherpad which everyone on the call was viewing during the call; since our
meetings are in text form, it should be far simpler to either cut+paste
notable statements or summarize them onto e.g., a
http://collabedit.com/ document
such as was previously suggested.


i don't think we should just copy & paste the entire thing. i think there
should be a summary of it like the ticket above has. if members of the meeting
disagree with the summary then it can be altered etc. having to wade through an
hour of irc log to know what a meeting was about is not a brilliant way of
presenting information here IMHO.


I think its also the place where things like this can happen at the 
meeting, with something like collab edit.


All in all, the two of you want to see things written down and recorded, 
i would like to test it with collabedit.com, maybe then its not the job 
of one person to write down "meeting-minutes" rather than of many people 
which makes it easier for each. So lets leave things from the past in 
the past, and lets evalulate how this new approach worked on the 18th :)

I am not exactly sure what you mean by "tracks meeting 'minutes'".
I would create a event in the calendar, you can import them then to

your

private one and use the notifications you prefer for that event.

But i agree in general that there should be a wiki page for monitoring
contents of the meetings and some them up. I think there can be a

script

for that, as conduit seems to have a API for that.



Probably the easiest way to do this would be to have something like

an

etherpad where everyone can copy/paste/summarize things said on IRC

and

then copy the contents of the etherpad to the wiki after the meeting

ends.




There is http://collabedit.com which works without users etc. seems
reasonable for me. What do you think?

What I would like to see and I think what Mike is getting at is a wiki
page either on the main wiki or somewhere on phab, which atleast lists
all the links to the meeting summaries rather then just having obscure
phab links to them. Even better would be if all the summaries were also
just in one page so you didn't have to click links to follow the
previous meetings.

Actually correction, its not accessible to anyone who is not logged
into Phabricator. No account, no access, no information. Log out or use
a private browsing session for conformation on access.

I am more than happy to help with such, if I can get my phab account
re-enabled... Requested many times falls on deaf ears, blind eyes ;)

Re: [E-devel] RFC unforgettable weekly meetings

2018-05-09 Thread Mike Blumenkrantz
While I can see some summarization of meeting items on the relatively
obscure https://phab.enlightenment.org/V33, which is inaccessible to anyone
who has not been avidly following the mailing list archives--ie. will never
be visible to any new community members--this is not quite the same as
recording the minutes of a meeting.

Aside from the visibility issue (there should be a defined and documented
page on the wiki/site where all of the minutes/logs from meetings can be
found), here is an example of "good" minute-taking from a meeting that I
was present in: https://github.com/servo/servo/wiki/Meeting-2015-05-18 .
Note that this was a phone conference meeting, so someone was required to
more or less sit out of the meeting to transcribe its contents onto an
etherpad which everyone on the call was viewing during the call; since our
meetings are in text form, it should be far simpler to either cut+paste
notable statements or summarize them onto e.g., a
http://collabedit.com/ document
such as was previously suggested.

Lets try it.

here is the group you can join for getting a invite:
https://phab.enlightenment.org/project/view/204/

Here is the event with the linked wiki page:

Updated version:

i) We do two meetings a month:
  1) 1st Tuesday of each month at 8h UTC
  2) 3rd Thursday of each month at 16h UTC
  (Times can be discussed, they are copied from
https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Doc/Contact#Weekly_Meetings thx
Christophe Sadoine)

ii) We create 'Recurring Events' for each of the events on phab, there
is already a committers group. I would create another group where people
can join who want to get notified that a meeting is happening.

iii) *Someone* is summing up what was said and concluded, those things
are written into a wiki page.

More answers below.

Hello,

It has been now over 10 days of the last meeting, we concluded that we

So here is another proposal that makes things more scheduled:

     1) 1st of each month at 8h UTC
     2) 17st of each month at 16h UTC

We should announce the meetings regularly, and haven't does that for
this week, maybe we should just start on the 17th?

What do you think about it?

Greetings,
     bu5hm4n



To make it easier with peoples schedules I think picking a day (or maybe
2 different days if that works better would be easier to remember) Like
the first and Third Monday of each month for example, the 1st and 17th
will fall on weekends / friday nights at some point and people wont want
to join.



Good point.


Rather then having to be subscribed to something (or as well as) it
would be nice if something sent a meeting reminder email to this list
24hrs before each meeting as well.



We can do that the first few weeks, but for the long term i would stick
to subscribing to a group on phabricator, as everything else is a bit
verbose IMO, and a few may just not be interested at all :)

 bu5hm4n

Likely a page, list that has links to each meetings minutes/summary.
This also includes a full log, which cannot really hurt either.
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Council/Meeting_logs

This seems like a bit overkill, but its also for a different purpose.
Foundations tend to need to report more details and prettier for donors.
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Category:Foundation_Meetings

That does show a meeting template like I was talking about before.

Sounds like a job for cron.  Generic email reminder emailed out on
interval. Maybe just 1 to this list vs to each individual. I recall an
automated email already being sent on like coverage or something.

I am not exactly sure what you mean by "tracks meeting 'minutes'".
I would create a event in the calendar, you can import them then to your 
private one and use the notifications you prefer for that event.


But i agree in general that there should be a wiki page for monitoring 
contents of the meetings and some them up. I think there can be a script 
for that, as conduit seems to have a API for that.




Probably the easiest way to do this would be to have something like an
etherpad where everyone can copy/paste/summarize things said on IRC and
then copy the contents of the etherpad to the wiki after the meeting ends.



There is http://collabedit.com which works without users etc. seems 
reasonable for me. What do you think?

I think it would be better to keep them, they will have an obvious
subject line that people who are not interested can filter out either
automatically or manually, just like its easy to see then not pay
attention to comments brought up about a specific patch you have no
interest in.

Re: [E-devel] RFC unforgettable weekly meetings

2018-05-08 Thread Marcel Hollerbach

Updated version:

i) We do two meetings a month:
1) 1st Tuesday of each month at 8h UTC
2) 3rd Thursday of each month at 16h UTC
(Times can be discussed, they are copied from 
https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Doc/Contact#Weekly_Meetings thx

Christophe Sadoine)

ii) We create 'Recurring Events' for each of the events on phab, there
is already a committers group. I would create another group where people
can join who want to get notified that a meeting is happening.

iii) *Someone* is summing up what was said and concluded, those things
are written into a wiki page.

To make it easier with peoples schedules I think picking a day (or maybe
2 different days if that works better would be easier to remember) Like
the first and Third Monday of each month for example, the 1st and 17th
will fall on weekends / friday nights at some point and people wont want
to join.



Good point.

No we don't and I think it is a good idea you brought up here.

I think we should try it out and see how it flies for us.

I would propose IRC as medium (already heavily in use, suitable for many 
attendees even if just lurking around, video calls might be awkward
and problematic with many attendees)

I would also propose it to be bi-weekly. That misses the nice regularity of 
weekly meetings, but I think that might be a bit to often. Maybe
I am wrong and weeklies would be better. Hard to say.

Finding the right time slot is problematic though. As far as I see it we might 
have attendance from US west and east coast, Europe as well
as Asia. What should we do about it?
