[RFC] weekly dev chats
Hello, I just got inspired by the Agile Manifesto Principles[1], specifically: > The most efficient and effective method of > conveying information to and within a development > team is face-to-face conversation. This reminded me how dynamic, positive and motivating were the LP talks in Salzburg. To get more of such energy I suggest to have weekly dev "meetings". Since not everyone would be able to participate (at least regularly), no binding decisions should be made there, but I'm quite sure it'll be helpful in getting better understanding and common perspective across the community. I'd be willing to organize and moderate the meetings (take care of preparing the agenda and sharing the take-aways with the devel list). I know that it'd be a challenge to find a time that will work for people from different timezones, but I'll figure somethig out (have some ideas already). Thumbs up or thumbs down?

Hi Janek, > I suggest to have weekly dev "meetings". If they are at a time when I’m available, I’d be more than happy to be involved. Regardless, it’s a great idea — in fact, I was in the middle of drafting an email to suggest it when your email came through. =) Cheers, Kieren.

It purports to talk AIM, Bonjour, Gadu-Gadu, Google Talk, Groupwise, ICQ, IRC, Simple, Sametime, XMPP and Zephyr. No idea whether it does screencasts. -- David Kastrup My replies have a tendency to cause friction. To help mitigating damage, feel free to forward problematic posts to me adding a subject like "timeout 1d" (for a suggested timeout of 1 day) or "offensive".

No idea whether it does screencasts. FWIW, I’ve had positive experiences with Jitsi: https://jitsi.org/ It requires a modern (>2013) browser as it works via WebRTC, platform-independent, open source (according to their website). Audio/video calls and screen sharing is available and works (tried on Ubuntu and Windows). Cheers, Joram
