Below are notes that Bob and I compiled from a meeting at the KohaCon10 hackfest in Wellington last Sunday.
That was last Sunday, after myself and some others had left. Even at its peak, I think only 8 of 20+ development groups were present at the hackfest. Who was still present when this unannounced meeting happened? Did anyone comment on the inappropriate timing and minority attendence?
It was my clear understanding that none of those present at this "meeting" in any way saw it as a formal meeting, or one that was able to make any kind of decision on behalf of the community. I think it was made clear that this was an informal exchange of ideas - ideas that would then be taken to the proper fora - mailinglists and IRC meetings. This may not have come through in the notes from Bob and Irma.
Is this a plan to overload us with bureaucracy and more meetings to attend?
That was not what I heard. I think the main thing was to get more discussion/involvement around RFCs and long term decisions. And it was thought that one way to do this would be to have some kind of group of interested people looking into matters of interest, and then making their comments/recommendations available to the rest of the community before decisions are made.
For further discussion and resolution at the Monthly IRC Meeting on 10 November.
Please don't.
Agreed. It would seem out of character for our community to decide anything of this magnitude so fast. ;-) But let's discuss it a bit tomorrow and then let the meeting decide the next step(s)? Best regards, Magnus libriotech.no
