tl;dr The platform meeting will revert to focus on engineering teams as of next week.
We discussed the platform meeting's use during today's platform meeting. The consensus of the people who attended the meeting is that the platform meeting is useful and should be continued. Here is my summary of the key points from the discussion. - releng and relman both find this a useful venue to disseminate information - People like the team status updates - suggestion to hear from more of the technical teams - Useful venue for flagging topics on mailing lists - summaries of any discussion should be posted back to the list - Good opportunity to discuss issues with the technical teams - Useful for raising awareness and finding owners for stability, orange factor bugs - This meeting is a forcing function for the activities listed above Specific suggestions: - a concise summary of this meeting or decisions should be posted to dev-planning or a blog post - revert the meeting agenda back to focus on technical teams (the meeting changed in Oct 2012) not products - we have the product meeting for product discussions - provide a section in the agenda for others to ask questions of individual teams Based on this feedback... I will take a stab at defining the purpose of the meeting as: A weekly time for engineering teams to share information with and ask questions of one another. I will make the following changes, effective next week: 1. Modify the agenda to focus on engineering teams and activities. 2. Work on summarizing discussions or vague items in the agenda so that the notes can be understood by people who don't attend the meeting In support of these changes, I will speak with as many engineering team managers as possible before next week in an attempt to bring the content inline with what is desired. Of course, this is a work in progress. This being your meeting, do these changes make sense to you? Please share your suggestions either by replying to the list or to me individually. Thanks for reading. Lawrence _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
