The main advantage of regular IRC meetings is that you can say: we have 1-2 hours to discuss this, and then we make a decision. A decision can be that you postpone the topic to next week (= putting it on the agenda again!), but that's better than silently postponing it (and then forgetting). -- Jan Claeys -- ubuntu-be mailing list / mailto:[email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-be
