Hi all,
I won't be at tonight's websites meeting, but I wanted to send out a reminder and ask for one or two of the Websites regulars to step up and lead the meeting.
#fedora-websites @ 20:00 UTC
Our tasklist has fractured into the "current stuff that is actually being worked on" and the "older stuff that is sort of in hibernation". My thanks to Karsten for doing some clean-up on that page.

I was wondering if there is anyway we could standardize the meeting time? I wonder if staggering it has lead to more people who would actually attend not being able to attend (due to confusion over what time it is this week or other obligations).

I would love to standardize the meeting time, but the last few times I brought this up, it was voted down due to too many timezone differences.
Maybe we can split the difference and just have it at 21:00 UTC every week, instead of alternating between 20:00 and 22:00?

I could actually make it every week if it was at that time. What do others think?

Sigh, well now I feel horrible. 21:00 doesn't work for me either cuz I have a standing 4:30-5:30 that I forgot about.
I'll deal!

Sorry if I'm not calculating right, but would it work for you to do your meeting then dip in for the last 1/2 of the Websites meeting?
Another option that isn't often used is to actually run a meeting from N:30 to N+1:30. I'm comfie with that, especially if we use our own irc channel so's not to impact on da rhythm of #fedora-meeting.

Nope it usually goes 4:30 straight to 6 ET. (where 4 = 20 UTC and 6 = 22 UTC)

The only time in the 20-22 block that works for me on mondays is 20, no halfsies unfortunately :(

IIRC, that would knock out both groups of people who were served by the split time. I recall transit between locations being a primary situation.
This is a perennial problem, with each group beating on it every time they want to set a meeting. I'm wondering what else we can try or offer in the pool if ideas?
* Meet twice a week at two different times (and days), then synthesize the meetings via mailing list.
* Have one meeting that goes extra long (we tried this in Docs to a limited success.)
* Introduce voice so that people who are in transit without Internet can call in and participate.
... ?

Are you sure? I know I am sitting on a bus at 22:00 UTC but I wasn't aware of anyone else who had transit issues?

Are the folks driving the 22:00 UTC time showing up? Can they tolerate 21:00 instead? Can any of these folks reading the thread right now help us figure this out?

This wouldn't work for me as I sit on a bus with many other people :(

I'm probably recalling just that and applying it in other instances.
Perhaps a regular review that the meeting time continues to work for everyone (once-a-quarter check-in?)

We had a small, but productive meeting at 22:00 last week. I won't be at this week's 20:00 meeting, but we'll see how it goes...

Bringing this thread back to tonight, is someone willing to take the leadership reins and continue the refreshing of our tasks list, and progress checks on our most important items?

I would usually be happy to, but I'm heading out with friends in about 10 minutes! Sorry to bail out tonight...

It was done, in an ad hoc fashion.
Ian was going to follow-up with the IRC log to this list.
Did everyone get their tasks updated?
Then I had started a discussion that resulted my question to this list about the Websites mission. :)
