Hi ESME team, With my mentor hat on: I've seen some mentions of ESME conference calls, discussions over skype, etc., and I'd just like to remind people that in Apache projects all decisions and discussions must happen on the mailing lists.
Of course, most projects have backchannels among project members: phone, twitter, IRC, coffee machine talk, etc...There's nothing wrong about that, but it is important that everything discussed over these "other" channels be reflected here (in summary messages for example), and more importantly that all decisions happen here and not on those channels. The goal is to allow all community members to participate equally in discussions and decisions. Feel free to discuss, I hope the intention is clear. -Bertrand
