Re: Project Activity

[Mattmann, Chris A (3980)]

Hi Seungwon,

That’s a good start, however, perhaps I could suggest even an
alternative to that. Rather than reporting notes *after* a meeting
has happened, bring the discussion items from the meeting to the
list *ahead* of time. Discuss the answers and replies from your
team(s) in email. Let the discussion play out over the list. Then
there’s no need to send any summary - the list simply becomes the
record of the meeting. This also provides an opportunity for others
to join in on the discussion *while it’s going on* rather than after
the fact. This is an important element to (open-source) community
building as it allows others to feel included in your project. In
particular it also allows effective oversight and help to be provided
to the project.

I hope you will consider doing the above. I think it would help to
alleviate many of the concerns that have been raised so far.

Cheers,
Chris
