Hi Peter,

I just wanted to give a little feedback about yesterdays call.
thanks a lot!
First of all I think it would be a good idea to have an IRC channel
running in parallel. Not to open a second thread of discussion because
that would be confusing, but rather reporting issues etc. For example I
have been dialing in four times yesterday so you would not need to ask
every time who joined, but can get the status from the chat. One could
also claim things like: "I'm with you, I can hear you but speaking
doesn't work." The ODF TCs at OASIS always use this kind of status chat.
This is in fact how I planned it, and I even mentioned the IRC channel
on the wiki page, but I must confess I didn't look into it during the
call. I support your idea, and we could setup a separate IRC channel -
I'll take a note and do this by next time. Thanks for the suggestion,
this indeed will be helpful!
As to connecting from China. First I tried using Skype to Skype, but the
sound was like being redirected through a fuzzbox and an echo effect at
the same time. Then I have been trying to connect with my mobile phone
using a calling service. I have been dialing in through the Hamburg and
the US number, but both connections were unstable. Finally I ended up
calling with the US number with Skype out. Connection quality was poor
but worked somehow, also depending on who was talking. In general I
I'm sorry to hear that. Seems there are random problems with dialing-in,
but I didn't find a pattern yet. Some people can use Skype reliably, for
others the local dial-in numbers work, for others nothing works at all.
I hope we can find a solution soon.
Sorry to those who experienced problems, and thanks for attending
nontheless!
would recommend that everyone who is not talking should mute her/his
phone. These conference services certainly use some automatic volume
leveling on all participants connected, hence silent channels do not
disturb the algorithm and overall sound quality will improve. This also
helped on other frequent confcalls I have been attending.
This is a great idea - I've added it to the wiki! Thanks for mentioning!
As to the time zone problems:
If you plan to attend a call, *PLEASE* *DO* *PARTICIPATE* in our Doodle
poll! I know it will be challenging to find a date and time convenient
for everyone, but if we don't know the demand from the various
countries, it will be extremely hard to take it into account. So,
please, I encourage you to take part in the poll and mark your favorite
date and time!
Florian
