Hi everyone, For background, Dave asked this on IRC on Tuesday: [15:03] <dchinner> djwong: can you publish updated minutes for what is discussed during the office hours meeting? After a couple of days of doing some research and thinking about this, I've decided that the answer is no, I cannot simultaneously facilitate the meeting /and/ produce a detailed minute-by-minute record of what was discussed. I welcome someone volunteering to function as a scribe, though I'll note that for most of the other community meetings (e.g. LSFMM, LPC, etc) minutes are not produced. Like the ext4 community call, the weekly hour is spent on asking fairly mundane procedure questions of the release managers, people asking questions when they get stuck, a roundtable of what everyone's working on, and discussion of ideas. This last thing is what I gather is the sticking point -- people are allergic to backroom settlement of conflicts that everyone is then bound to live with. For those situations, I prefer to roughly follow the practice of ext4 community call. To my observation, that practice is that if we think we've settled a question, then a summary of that discussion will be sent to the list for broader examination. That to me feels like a reasonable compromise between the unstructured conversations that occur on the call vs. maintaining a public record. Also, for people who have been attending the calls, I have numerous conflicts for the next month or two, so the next office hours will be: May 20 June 10 July 1 (and back to weekly starting July 1) --D
