Awesome :) Happy to hear that & thank you for dedicating your time!

I assume that you know about recent change - W3C dismissed Zakim bridge
(with support for SIP) and moved to WebEx (proprietary techonology)

I believe that open source and federated technology will become the
future of social online collaboration, saying that as participant of
(W3C Social Acivity). At the same time we still have some work to make
it happen. I would ask everyone to stay flexible and avoid taking
dogmatic position. I believe everyone can *contribute* to W3C Modern
Tooling effort! Some relevant links
* https://w3c.github.io/modern-tooling/#de-facto-github
* https://w3c.github.io/using-github/
* https://github.com/w3c/modern-tooling/issues/16

IMO will come out of hard work put into coding, not so much into lobbing

For people who offer actual contributions to this group which in
practice means to RDF *javascript* environment, using github seems like
an obvious choice to collaborate on code, gitter just offer tiny layer
of convenience and Interaction Experience which many people appreciate.

I would like to propose limiing time for all those online workspaces
issues to maximum first 10 minutes of this meeting. Agree on what we can
use for now and in case we don't reach consensus, people who object can
raise issues which we will work on resolving *after the meeting*. I
commit myself to collaborate on resolving them together with persons who
raised it.
