Discussing this isnt going to bring changes IMO 04:26:04 <FranciscoD> eof 04:26:17 <bckurera> We have lot to discuss, and these things can take longer time I suppose therefore if we take some important questions first that will help. Just an idea 04:26:36 <bckurera> I think we need more participation for meetings 04:26:37 <FranciscoD> bckurera: ++ (basically the same thing as prioritizing) 04:26:52 <dramsey> +1 :p 04:26:57 <bckurera> that is one thing we need to make sure ! 04:26:59 <bckurera> eof 04:27:21 * FranciscoD notes: question for questionnaire and the survey: "How many of your regional ambassador meetings do you attend?" 04:27:22 <tuanta> FranciscoD: I think we have a lot of things to improve the quality of meetings, we should go discussing f2f in KL! 04:27:24 <FranciscoD> ! 04:27:29 <dramsey> :D 04:27:36 <tuanta> FranciscoD, please 04:27:46 <FranciscoD> tuanta: can you please state these things in detail? 04:28:04 <FranciscoD> I'd like to go over them and see if f2f at KL makes sense for them ;) 04:28:05 <FranciscoD> eof 04:28:06 <tuanta> yes, I wrote them on the wiki 04:28:23 <tuanta> 1-6 are suggested details 04:28:31 <FranciscoD> tuanta: with all due respect, I don't see how talking about them will make a change 04:28:39 <FranciscoD> They are guidelines that need to be *practiced* 04:28:52 <FranciscoD> discussing them doesn't directly imply implementation. 04:29:04 <tuanta> FranciscoD: I hope we will have solutions after that section 04:29:22 * FranciscoD feels we already know what must be done to have better meetings 04:29:22 <tuanta> those all are suggestions 04:29:35 <tuanta> sure, FranciscoD 04:29:42 <FranciscoD> tuanta: can I state what I think must be done? And you folks can decide if they need discussion or not? 04:29:45 <tuanta> we should discuss them all before 04:30:16 <FranciscoD> 1. Quorum: We need to encourage Ambassadors to join the meetings. This will be done over a period of time. We are already seeing an increase in attendance 04:30:26 <FranciscoD> 2. Protocl needs to be adhered to: 04:30:39 <FranciscoD> a. Wait your turn: Use ?! to request your turn 04:30:49 <FranciscoD> b. Each meeting will have a leader who gives folks turns. 04:31:08 <FranciscoD> b.i This person needs to be extra attentive, to ensure no time is wasted in giving turns 04:31:27 <FranciscoD> c. Don't start typing after you get your turn. Keep the text ready 04:31:43 <FranciscoD> d.i All tickets that need to be discussed need to be marked 'meeting' on the track 04:32:07 <FranciscoD> d.ii If the ticket filer is not present, the ticket will be given less priority. 04:32:19 <FranciscoD> e. Dont forget to EOF as soon as you're done ;) 04:32:20 <FranciscoD> EOF 04:32:24 <tuanta> great. that's things should added onto the wiki. 04:32:38 <maktrix> +1 FranciscoD 04:32:40 <dramsey> 8-) Cool man!!! 8-) +1 04:32:44 <FranciscoD> tuanta: these are things we put out in every meeting. Its just about folks starting to use them. 04:32:56 <maktrix> ! 04:32:59 <FranciscoD> maktrix: go 04:33:01 <kaio_ph> IMHO the rules are a bit overkill. 04:33:02 <maktrix> Ones attendance will be considered during his/her request of budget for event 04:33:24 <maktrix> eof 04:33:40 * FranciscoD notes that these are guidelines. We have no rules. 04:33:48 <FranciscoD> kaio_ph: I'd still like you to clarify what you feel is overkill 04:33:50 <FranciscoD> ;) 04:34:19 <tuanta> so, everyone, please add more details to the wiki before we go to KL 04:34:26 <dramsey> +1 04:34:28 <tuanta> my topic done 04:34:32 * FranciscoD waits for kaio_ph 04:34:57 <kaio_ph> 2 a c e 04:34:59 * FranciscoD suggests folks attend meeting such as famsco and the board and see how they do it 04:35:10 <FranciscoD> kaio_ph: I'm sorry. I disagree 04:35:23 <tuanta> #action all add more details to the f2f meeting wiki https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:KualaLumpur_2012/BoF_discussion#Discussion_Ideas before we go to KL 04:35:25 <FranciscoD> They are the most important IMO. To maintain structure during the meeting 04:35:31 <kaio_ph> Using too many symbols are quite user unfriendly. 04:35:55 <FranciscoD> they are one/three character, I don't see how they are user unfriendly? 04:36:20 <tuanta> my topic done. next now? 04:36:23 <FranciscoD> when too many people talk simultanously during a meeting, the following happens: 04:36:25 <kaio_ph> FAmSCo won't use : ?! to proceed discussions. 04:36:28 <dramsey> :D 04:36:29 <FranciscoD> 1. no one understands what happens 04:36:39 <FranciscoD> kaio_ph: famsco has 4 people in attendance on an average 04:36:49 <FranciscoD> tuanta: 2 more minutes, time me :P 04:36:56 <tuanta> yes, please :) 04:37:08 <FranciscoD> 2. the logs get difficult to read for folks who miss the meeting 04:37:20 <FranciscoD> 3. tags such as info are difficult to use 04:37:33 <kaio_ph> Eof is okay, but symbols are too abstract and confuse people with the original way of usage. 04:37:33 <FranciscoD> 4. multiple things getting discussed together => none of them discussed properly 04:37:44 <FranciscoD> kaio_ph: you mean ! and ? 04:37:54 <FranciscoD> for 'raise your hand' and 'ask a question'? 04:38:08 <FranciscoD> we can change it to o/ 04:38:15 <kaio_ph> : ! ? 04:38:17 <FranciscoD> if that is more 'raise your hand' 04:38:24 <FranciscoD> ? 04:39:02 <FranciscoD> How about this: 04:39:15 <FranciscoD> I'll make a wiki page for protocols, and request folks on the list to have a look 04:39:19 <kaio_ph> I am personally predict people won't follow the rules for long, as the rules are not natural. 04:39:31 <FranciscoD> kaio_ph: exactly, it is our business to make them natural 04:39:37 <FranciscoD> natural/second nature 04:39:41 <FranciscoD> the irc is not the same as f2f 04:39:48 <FranciscoD> you cant have the same method of dicsussion 04:39:49 <bckurera> ! 04:39:52 <FranciscoD> eof 04:39:54 <FranciscoD> bckurera: go 04:40:00 <bckurera> I think adhering to the guideline is good and proper ! 04:40:09 <bckurera> but they should be simple not much 04:40:09 <kaio_ph> Anything needs to memorise are not helping. Anyways, I am expressing my concern. I don't mind if you want to try that. 04:40:22 <FranciscoD> #action FranciscoD put all guidelines on wiki and request mailing lists to go look 04:40:36 <bckurera> will try to keep it as a habit, then all use to do it and finally we have nice log which is easy to read 04:40:41 <FranciscoD> ! 04:40:58 <bckurera> ! ? eof would be enough and simple, IMO 04:41:00 <bckurera> eof 04:41:03 <FranciscoD> kaio_ph: ! ? EOF -> 5 characters, not a lot of RAM needed. If you use them for a single meeting, you understand and use them forever.
