I couldn't find a good summary there. Doubtless others exist on the web though. In any case, nearly everything that is presented in a meeting can be found on the web, right? Does that mean that we should not bother having meetings, and instead just point people to web sites, or tell them to google?
That sounds extremely silly IMO.
IMO Actually talking to people is the best way of communicating.
You get immediate feedback. You can see how they react to what you're saying they can tell you that you're talking bollocks etc.
So unless you're autistic or have a dose of Asberger's Syndrome (which I would bet we have our share of people with it :-) ) meetings in "meatspace" are better then meetings in cyberspace.
I have done a talk on OSS before and in that I covered licences. It was very quick and very shallow but I could probably flesh it out if anyone was interested.
