[Ambassadors] The weekly ambassador meetings

[Fabian Affolter]

Hi all,

It's a long time ago...exactly during the presentation during the FAD at
Berlin I showed a slide (Page 7) [1].  This slide contains an overview
of some weekly meetings.  After a short discussion about why are there
always a lot of European ambassadors at both time (FYI 22:00 UTC is
midnight in western europe).  Someone suggested to split the meetings.
An European meeting at a pleasant moment...but now we can't split due to
lack of attendance.

Since LinuxTag there were 18 meetings. 14 were canceled!

Do we still need weekly meetings?  Is it an overkill?  Is it just a
waste of time?  Today for me it was just wasting time.  Three people
showed up.

Are the reasons...

- I don't care what the other ambassadors do.
- We have nothing to discuss.  I don't know what to tell.
- South America is far away, I'm not interested in stuff from there.
- I have other stuff to do and can't take 30 min off.
- I live in the wrong time zone.

I guess that there is no more any need for exchanging information
between the ambassadors about events and how stuff can be done because
everybody have enough experience to handle it.

On the Join page [2] of the Ambassadors Project...

Step 1.  Participate in weekly meetings

Perhaps it would be a good idea to remove that step.  No meeting, no
possibility for a participation...FAMSco, this could be a topic for your
next meeting. For your half-yearly meeting ;-)

Just my thoughts...

Regards,

Fabian
