Hi *,
imho the weekly meetings are a little bit overkill :-(
All the reasons Fabian wrote and asked for are a part of "why I don't
attend" (for me) ...
On the other hand, we have had the "GO" from Max on LT2007 to establish
our own EMEA-Ambassadors meeting, BUT ...
... nobody taked care for it
... nobody has invited the other
... nobody is responsible for that kind of meeting(s)
The Ambassadors in Germany meet each other a couple time in a year on a
Event, on a FAD (reminder: next in approx. 4 weeks) to talk in person,
to organize Events, to have fun together.
And in my eyes, the FAD is more effectiv that one year of
IRC-Meetings ...
Please don`t misunderstood, IRC metings are important, too. For sure,
but not every week.
Maybe there are different steps to get us all at the round table ...
... change period from weekly to monthly
... meetings in timezones +1 and -1 or max. +2 and -2
... define two responsible Ambassadors for each region
... more contact und presence from/with Max
JUst my five cents

Hi all,
It's a long time ago...exactly during the presentation during the FAD at
Berlin I showed a slide (Page 7) [1]. This slide contains an overview
of some weekly meetings. After a short discussion about why are there
always a lot of European ambassadors at both time (FYI 22:00 UTC is
midnight in western europe). Someone suggested to split the meetings.
An European meeting at a pleasant moment...but now we can't split due to
lack of attendance.
Since LinuxTag there were 18 meetings. 14 were canceled!
Do we still need weekly meetings? Is it an overkill? Is it just a
waste of time? Today for me it was just wasting time. Three people
showed up.
Are the reasons...
- I don't care what the other ambassadors do.
- We have nothing to discuss. I don't know what to tell.
- South America is far away, I'm not interested in stuff from there.
- I have other stuff to do and can't take 30 min off.
- I live in the wrong time zone.
I guess that there is no more any need for exchanging information
between the ambassadors about events and how stuff can be done because
everybody have enough experience to handle it.
On the Join page [2] of the Ambassadors Project...
Step 1. Participate in weekly meetings
Perhaps it would be a good idea to remove that step. No meeting, no
possibility for a participation...FAMSco, this could be a topic for your
next meeting. For your half-yearly meeting ;-)
Just my thoughts...
Regards,
Fabian
