Re: About the current a11y meeting and format

Thanks API and all for doing these meetings. Sorry I rarely get to attend meetings, so my opinions should not be taken too seriously.

During the last meeting [1], we were discussing about the current
status of the weekly meetings, and we conclude that we need the input
of more people. So:

 1. Timetable? We concluded that it wouldn't require to debate that,
   as we have already discussed and tried several different
   timetables. But just to confirm that.

I get very confused as to when meetings are, and it seems like the times accommodate European/Eastern hours better than Pacific hours, which is fine. What would really help me, is if we had an ICS or Google calendar with the meeting schedule for the next few months. UTC is also a confusing timezone.

 

 2. We still need weekly meeting? In some way this is somewhat a
   overkill, and it is clear that due the timetable, there are some
   meetings really empty. But, in the same way, if we made that
   bi-weekly, due the timetable some people will just attend one
   meeting per month.

I haven't attended enough meetings to judge, if folks that hold it think it's worthwhile that's great. I think it is a bit overkill, but I am not really informed.

 

 3. Current format: perhaps the more problematic point on the
   meeting. Some people felt that the current format is too detailed,
   and that we should orient the meeting to an agenda-item-update.

So, lets debate.

Opinions? Debate?

I will use this mail to share my personal opinions.

1. Ok for me
2. I think that worths the weekly meeting.

3. I personally pointed on the previous meeting that the reason this
  wouldn't work is that nobody is editing the shared weekly meeting
  and proposing items. So if we find a meeting with just 2 items, we
  have two options. Or a 10 minutes agenda-item-update a11y meeting,
  or just use the time to talk about it, as, after all, we were there
  to talk about it, and enter into detail if required.

  YES, probably a agenda-item-update oriented a11y meeting will be
  better. Problem: there aren't enough items on the agenda for that.
