Hi Everyone, I don't think there is a problem with having discussions on a telecon. The key distinction is to NOT make decisions on those telecons. Decisions are made on the ASF mailing lists. However, people talk outside of the list all of the time and it's not our goal to thwart all of those opportunities. We also here at the ASF are all about "trust" and "caring" behind people's intentions. Sean Kelly and Tom Barber have made every effort as far as I can tell to hold a Doodle poll, include people in multiple time zones, and have a chance for a discussion in real time that is often not possible. I say, have the discussion. Decisions are made/recorded, and *acted on* via our ASF mailing lists. So, I would say, do so.
And if you do all those things, and then just follow up, I personally trust that you guys are doing the right thing and no one is doing anything nefarious here. Heck you have done a ton of things to discuss this telecon on the list, there are already several announcements of it, etc. I would for sure NOT get into the habit of doing this as the only modis operandi for communication but of course, no one is suggesting that. So, I would say, move forward, nothing much to see here. I will try my best to attend it but if I can't I trust you guys are doing the right thing and will take care of stuff on list as it should be. Thanks.
