Hi working groups members,
since we have learned on Flock that new Fedora working groups do not
communicate with each other much (or enough), I'd like to propose the
following:
Every working group will time to time (e.g. weekly) send short summary about
what they did / were talking about directly to mailing lists of other
working groups + to devel(a)fp.o. Really only a short summary with links where
one can find details.
I tried to collect such info from the meeting logs and mailing lists for the
last few weeks for Env and Stacks WG:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/env-and-stacks/2014-August/0004...
I found many notes are really worth spreading beyond groups' borders, but it
takes too much time for one person to collect all the information. Thus,
proposing to "do a summary once per group and share with other groups".
Another benefit would be that Matt would have better content for his 5tiftw.
I don't think we need to sync about date or frequency, just remembering to
send a direct mail if anything interesting is done/discussed should work
fine.
List of proposed MLs to send this summary to:
server(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
desktop(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
cloud(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
env-and-stacks(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
devel(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
Comments, ideas or better solutions are welcome as usually, but I might be
offline until Sunday, so do not expect any answers from me in that time :)
I don't have any major objections to this, but I will note that
reports stopped being sent to FESCo because at some point they were
kind of redundant. "Still working on thing X" every week isn't really
something that needs to be sent. So I would avoid a weekly deadline
and maybe just post minutes/summaries of the meetings the groups have
when there is actually something to communicate.
