My $0.02:

The business of Apache is conducted on email.

It's fine to have a periodic conference call among interested project participants, as long as (my list, not normative):

no project or community member is excluded (e.g. by posting the call information only to a private list)

no decisions are made during the call

all topics discussed are subsequently posted via email to the project members

Having an audio transcript is interesting but doesn't pass my email test. So I'd have to say that someone needs to transcribe the audio into email.

I don't know about this.  Whatever we do has to be trackable and
"open", so I don't know about this Skype stuff.  Requiring folks to
watch a video or listen to an audio recording rather than reading a
transcript is probably not a good idea.  I'm copying the general list
to see what others have to say.

to explain this. E.g. there are some real ALIVE people involved :).

Monthly is good.

First off, thanks to all for attending, and I really enjoyed the
opportunity. Hope it was useful. It was nice, actually, to read the transcript on the Skype IM call afterwards (I didn't get the oppo to do that
while I was demo'ing).

Second, my apols that I didn't have the demo working. Of course, after
the call finished I figured out the problem in about 2 minutes. At any rate, the details on running the demo for yourselves are on the "SmokeTest"
page on the wiki [1].

Third, per a recording, like Kevin I also recorded the call using
CallGraph, though mine seems to have recorded ok. It's about 92Mb, recorded it in stereo, and what Skype did is distribute the voices across the spectrum, which I think is quite nice. Anyway, I've just uploaded it to my dropbox account and I'll post the URL on isis-private. (If you aren't
subscribed there, contact me directly).

Lastly, it'd be nice to do a similar call like that now and again. We
could perhaps set one up every month, attendance purely optional. Thoughts?

Cheers

Hi Dan,

Thanks for organizing the call.

I was not able to record the entire call - Of the 56 minutes captured, a lot of it is silence. I'm not sure if it is an issue with the app or my
machine.

Anyway, thanks to all who participated, it was good to be able to
associate voices with the emails.

Regards,
Kevin
