To me it seems that the meetings are mostly UC related and - as the
research that's being discussed is usually implemented in and around
AsterixDB - somewhat relevant for the (hopefully larger) AsterixDB
community.
I think that an approach could be to remove the person-specific
information from the notes and just summarize briefly the
AsterixDB-relevant topics that were discussed.
Such a summary could then be posted to this list, making everybody aware
of the topics that were discussed and thus giving an opportunity to
follow-up on the list.
Cheers,
Till

Agreed! We don't want to dismantle our university project meetings -
but - we also do want to share what happens in that context with the
whole community. No decisions will be made in those meetings - the
dev list will always be used to discuss stuff and to get
consensus/decisions made - but they do serve a useful purpose to keep
progress being made and accountability for those whose "day job" it is
to be contributing on a weekly basis. This would be like if
Hortonworks or Cloudera published notes from their internal meetings
and shared them with the rest of the Hadoop community - so it's
actually intended as added openness rather than closed-ness or inner
circle-ness. (We could decide to just not share the notes, which is
what probably goes on elsewhere - but we thought it might be nice to
be all the more open.) Make sense?

The question is not, whether there is something "useful" (for whom)?
It is generally recommended to avoid inner circles, and the like, and
have as much transparency as possible. That avoids that others are
getting the feeling to be outsiders.

I don't think you're going to get a lot of useful real-time

about things via IRC. At that point, we may as well just send status

email - which I'm not necessarily opposed to, but that does seem
like a
fairly significant shift in group culture.

Hi all,
Most of us attend a weekly "AsterixDB" meeting, either via Skype
or
in-person. However the focus of this meeting is two fold. One
part of it
is
regarding the development of AsterixDB, and the other part is
about the
research efforts that many of us are undertaking, that may not
necessarily
be directly relevant to AsterixDB itself.
Because of that, the minutes from these weekly meetings often
contain
things that would be of interest to all committers and folks
otherwise
interested in AsterixDB, but they also contain things that are
unrelated.
So on one hand it seems natural to post the minutes to this
development
list, I think there is still uncertainty about whether or not
simply
doing
that is the right thing.
Have other Apache projects dealt with this situation? i.e. what
to do
when
meetings contain information and decisions relevant to the
project, but
also address other non-Apache concerns? Any/all guidance and
input would
be
appreciated.
Thanks,
- Ian
