[Ambassadors] The weekly ambassador meetings

[Gerold Kassube]

Hi *,

imho the weekly meetings are a little bit overkill :-(
All the reasons Fabian wrote and asked for are a part of "why I don't
attend" (for me) ...

On the other hand, we have had the "GO" from Max on LT2007 to establish
our own EMEA-Ambassadors meeting, BUT ...

... nobody taked care for it
... nobody has invited the other
... nobody is responsible for that kind of meeting(s)

The Ambassadors in Germany meet each other a couple time in a year on a
Event, on a FAD (reminder: next in approx. 4 weeks) to talk in person,
to organize Events, to have fun together.
And in my eyes, the FAD is more effectiv that one year of
IRC-Meetings ...
Please don`t misunderstood, IRC metings are important, too. For sure,
but not every week.

Maybe there are different steps to get us all at the round table ...

... change period from weekly to monthly
... meetings in timezones +1 and -1 or max. +2 and -2
... define two responsible Ambassadors for each region
... more contact und presence from/with Max

JUst my five cents

Gerold
