Hello all, I'd like to get your opinion on the topic of our IRC meetings. As you can see in [1], these have been on hiatus since our last "confirmed" meeting ages ago - September 2005 -, and basically before that, for most of the summer of 2005 it was hard to get us all together at the same time. [1] http://esw.w3.org/topic/QaDev I have been wondering for a while whether to give these meetings another try. On the one hand, we do manage to have decent asynchronous communication via irc, mails, and so on, and that obviously constitutes an easy solution to the time zone headaches we are bound to run into. On the other hand, looking at minutes in [2] shows that regular meetings are a good motivation for regular progress, however small. Plus we've had a few new people (hello Antonio, Sierk!) joining this list in the past months, and meetings may be an easier way to get involved than just "business as usual" discussions on IRC and the mailing-list. [2] http://esw.w3.org/topic/QaDev/MeetingMinutes What do you think of restarting the cycle of IRC meetings, perhaps once a month? Or perhaps try another formula, maybe more often but at different times of the day, where we would know that a number of us will be on IRC and can try and come up with a few topics? Whether to announce these, in advance and with a request for more people to join, to such lists as www-validator and/or www-qa and/or public- evangelist... It's also possible that the renewed QAIG will hold meetings too, and we may want to hook onto that as well. Speaking of which, said QAIG will be meeting (and meeting other groups as well) at the next technical plenary, which will be hold at the very end of February in the south of France. Are any of you planning to (or just interested in) joining in, in person or by teleconferencing? http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-qa/2006Jan/0004 cheers, -- olivier
