Meetings

[Mike McGrath]

Last weeks meeting with IRC+SIP went pretty well.  Couple of notes:

1) We need to make sure everyone gets setup at the right volume
2) We need a good transcriber for each meeting where IRC and SIP is used
3) We need to find out why some people have been unable to connect
4) A wiki page would help.
5) We never did get recording setup.


So my question for those on the list.  We had 14 people at its max 
listening in.  Was this useful to everyone?  Was it better then IRC, 
same as IRC or worse then IRC?  If given the opportunity would you like 
to continue doing meetings via asterisk/callweaver?

YES!

For me it went pretty smoothly and was really nice to hear different voices.
About the meeting itself, i think it was good, apart from the echo and some
volume problems. We can also use 15mins before the meeting just to make sure
that everyone is well setup for it :)

+1

2) We need a good transcriber for each meeting where IRC and SIP is used


do like Toshio was doing, assign a person and write key points to the
channel ?!

3) We need to find out why some people have been unable to connect


yes we do...

4) A wiki page would help.


yes it would

5) We never did get recording setup.


This would really be ++1

I didn't participate, but in general ... 

IRC is low resolution, but it includes the most amount of people.  Folks
can't be on the call, etc.  If we're going to have any of our open team
meetings on SIP, we have to put the transcribe/interact with IRC as a
high priority.

Experience with the F-Board doing phone + IRC didn't go to well for
anyone; lots of work for a transcriber, the rest of us don't know what
is going on.

+1.  It was really nice to hear people's voices but reading the IRC log
shows that it makes it very difficult for anyone not able to participate
in the phone session to follow along.

Personally, I'd like to use it for actual socializing, sensitive
matters, or presentations/interactive demos/town hall.  For example, on
occasion we could designate the first 15 minutes of the meeting to
chewing the bull over SIP; anyone is welcome to participate, and it is
not supposed to go into actual agenda topics (i.e., agree not to talk
verbally about agenda items).  

Heck, the first few minutes of many conf calls I'm on are people
catching up, talking about the {weather,game,market,politics,etc.}.
Nice to do that, hear voices, then get off the phone and have the
meeting.  :)
