[steering-discuss] SC Meeting 2011-05-12 recording incomplete

2011-06-01 Thread David Nelson
Hi, :-)

The recording of the SC meeting of 2011-05-12 placed on the wiki is
incomplete. Please, would it be possible to have the recording of the
entire meeting posted?

[steering-discuss] Recent incomplete or non-existent records of SC meetings

2011-06-01 Thread David Nelson
Hi, :-)

In addition to the recording of the SC meeting of 2011-05-12 [1] being
incomplete (which is a pity since it contained some *interesting*
discussion about the Brazilian community and about the MC), the same
also applies to:

* 2011-05-06 [2]
* 2011-04-30 [3]
* 2011-04-21 [4]
* 2011-04-06 [5]
* 2011-03-26 (no recording at all)
* 2011-03-16 [6]

All the recordings are cut short, with some containing very little audio.

This is a pity since no notes were taken during some of those
meetings, meaning that there is no public record at all - including of
the open question time at the ends of the meetings, during which
community members have the chance to bring subjects up for discussion
with the SC.

Another aspect that is somewhat sad is the recent fall in attendance
at meetings, and the discussion about possibly greater use of e-mail
as a channel for debate and decision-taking - I am hoping that this
*does* mean open communication on the SC Discuss list, and not some
kind of non-public process...

While I do realise that people also have other areas of life to take
care of, please can the SC reassure us that this is not going to be a
gradual and chronic deterioration in the high standards of governance
laid out in the bylaws?

That must have been a recent glitch, because I do recall having listen
to these recording in their entirety a the time...
actually I think that is a problem on your side. I just re-listen to
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/cgi_img_auth.php/1/16/Talkyoo-537138-2011-04-30-1473097.mp3
and it is fine and complete

I have an excellent Internet connection, and looking at some of the
file sizes tells me that they really are incomplete... But, even
putting that aside, the lack of notes at some meetings and the falling
attendance are both indisputable...

And I just actually _listen_ to one of the one you said was
incomplete... and the last seconds of the record is 'ok then..this is
all.. goodbye... goodbye... goodbye... click' (i'm paraphrasing)
so it sounded to me that it was the complete call., furthermore I
_did_ listen to every-one of these recording available on the wiki,
and, at the time at least, none of them felt like they were truncated
in anyway.
So... I'm not disputing that your experience may have varied, but I
provided a data point that tend to suggest that any problem would be
on your side of the connection (and bandwidth is not the only thing
involved, the OS, the browser, the plug-ins and any number of factor
may be involved)

But, even
 putting that aside, the lack of notes at some meetings and the falling
 attendance are both indisputable...

_I_ have not commented on that at all, hence I have not disputed your
position on that either...

but since you mentioned it. I would note that the lack of attendance
seems to be correlated with whether the meeting was held on a week-end
or on week-day.
iow the usual conflict between volunteers schedules and full-staff schedule :-)

REDWOOD SHORES, CA--(Marketwire - Jun 1, 2011) - With today's proposal
to contribute the OpenOffice.org code to The Apache Software
Foundation's Incubator, Oracle continues to demonstrate its commitment
to the developer and open source communities. Donating OpenOffice.org to
Apache gives this popular consumer software a mature, open, and well
established infrastructure to continue well into the future. The Apache
Software Foundation's model makes it possible for commercial and
individual volunteer contributors to collaborate on open source product
development. -- Luke Kowalski, vice president, Oracle Corporate

You gotta love corporations :-)) Just 5 months ago, ASF ditched the JCP
and told Oracle to go forth and multiply, and now here it is taking on
the OOo project - better than any political intrigue ever !!

Today we welcome Oracle’s donation of code that has previously been
proprietary to the Apache Software Foundation, it is great to see key
user features released in a form that can be included into LibreOffice.

Since when is OOo proprietary?
