Gurer, Thanks for setting this up. 2 hours might be a bit long for locals to spend at this meeting since it occurs during normal work hours. Any reason holding more frequent 1 hour meetings won't work?
Also, thanks for setting up a webex meeting. If you'd like to get a sense of who plan to attend, I suggest creating a sign up page for this meeting on https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AIRFLOW/ with columns for name, email address, timezone, attending (Yes/No), attending via WebEx (Yes/No), Reason for attending/not-attending, etc.... For example, I will attend via WebEx although I am in the local TZ. I suggest people recording if they are not attending and the reason for not attending as well if the reason is time so we can get a sense of developer community geo distribution. Also, we need to ensure the meeting can effectively involve both remote and local. That means having a conference room with enough mics in the room to capture all of the conversations that can occur. In my experience, Zoom/Webex/Google Hangout/<pick your teleconferencing software> works better than having a bunch of folks in a room as each speaker gets a his/her own identity-labeled video/audio feed. In the group-shares-physical-conference-room-with-remote-attendees scenario, it's often hard for remote attendees to know who's speaking. That's especially difficult with a lot of new faces. -s On Sat, Sep 17, 2016 at 2:13 PM, Li Xuan Ji <[email protected]> wrote: > I'll try to join the webex link. > > On 16 September 2016 at 18:52, Gurer Kiratli > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > Again it has been a while after our last meeting.
