Thanks to Alex North, Ali Lown, Bruno Gonzalez, Jérémy Naegel, and Joseph Gentle for their active participation in our first Apache Wave team hangout. We also saw Christian Grobmeier trying to connect briefly, and some others are listed as having went, but that was the core group online. You can view the event at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNF_-ogcoIA
We had a pretty good discussion, though it would have benefited from others more focused on OT, no doubt. I think that we've demonstrated how to use the technology to communicate in the community and to further leverage it to make the world more available of Apache Wave development and where it stands. I don't what to be the permanent host of these hangouts, or any person-to-person communications, but I am glad to help facilitate them as needed. It's a communication tool, and any way that we can use it as a community in ways that reinforce its goals and values is good. The main question coming out of this hangout from my perspective is this: how to we choose a path for development that will result in a powerful solution for mobile collaboration that can support multiple apps in a common data model? I don't know that a Hangout is the place to solve that, this is probable the best place to start. In the meantime, I will be glad to help create a new "office hours" event on Hangout and have people decide what they want to discuss. Thanks to everyone who participated, the logistics seem to have worked out pretty well. John Blossom
