Re: Results of IRC Meeting Poll
As a member of this community that usually is not keen to weigh into these debates I think it's time to stand up and be counted.

There is doing things properly and there is doing things badly. As someone who has a lot of experience of FOSS communities and community groups in general, I feel that I have some responsibility to point out when I feel that people are making mistakes. This was one of those occasions. > So as far as I'm concerned the meeting will go ahead as published... I don't think that is a very good idea if you want it to have much credibility.

We only had 30hrs starting at COB Friday to respond? I think 2 clear business days would be far more appropriate. Peter's proposed date and time wasn't included. This time had 1 person support it on the list. Meetings are not always the most inclusive or efficient way of discussing issues and progressing them. The mailing list provides a far more flexible forum for people to participate in the discussion/debate. I would suggest that we stick to the regular meeting cycle as proposed by Peter and in the intervening 3 weeks or so we try to develop some consensus around the issues, rather rush a meeting so issues can be railroaded.
