Hi!
Yeah, lots of +1. I'm going to write a few questions and blog posts.
Of course, I'll share my "Insight office hour" in the first blog post.
If you have any ideas in questions topics, share with me, please.
I saw Peter's blog post here:
http://asrob.net/fedora-insight-office-hours
Unfortunately, I'm not able to do those times. However, I would like
to not be a blocker. If Peter and any other people can do those
times, just go ahead and do it. :-) Right now there doesn't seem to be
a lot of detail for what sort of visits you want, but I think that's
perfectly OK. Do it for a couple weeks. See what makes the most
sense. Then post an update and let people know how they can best
participate (either as a visitor or as a helper).
I heard a couple people mention that mumble might be useful for this.
I'm not opposed to using voice communications as long as it's not
being used as an *alternative* to doing things transparently. In
other words, if you use voice communications, report what's getting
done back out to the community through a blog summary.
Last I heard there was a bug in mumble that makes it not work on
Fedora 16, but a packager was working on library packaging that would
fix the problem. Does anyone know the status on that?
