Greetings, Before I even get started with this email, I'd like to make it clear that I'm sending it out assuming the good faith of everyone and the willingness of the Glance community to work together on improving our workflow. We all do what we do on the best interests of the project.
My holidays are around the corner and that'd made me think, yet again, at how hard it can be to keep up with Glance discussions sometimes. Since I'll be out, I wanted to send this email before I go with the hope that it'll make my - and others - life simpler when I'll be back. Unfortunately, it's become more and more common for the Glance community to have side discussions, just-irc discussions, and who knows what else. Even in my normal working days, I've had to find things that should've been discussed in the mailing list on my own. Timezones are hard and chasing people on every timezone through IRC is impossible. That's exactly the reason why we use our mailing list so much. Because we want to reach out to as many people as possible. Yes, it sometimes comes with the cost of "extra noise" - as some folks call it - or slower discussions but hey, we're a worldwide community. I'd like to ask everyone in the Glance community to think about people that might not be around and that could be interested in a certain discussion/topic. If names come up when you ask yourself that question. please, *send an email to the m-l*. Private emails, 99.9% of the time, are not what you want. I most certainly won't read 1 week of logs from the glance (or any) channel when I'll be back and we can't expect anyone to do that. FWIW, I'm not suggesting discussing things on IRC is bad but I do believe that the best way to reach out to the entire community is through the mailing list. Have a good one, Flavio P.S: Also, remember we've folks in TZs that are quite far-away from each other ;) -- @flaper87 Flavio Percoco
