Thanks for the initiative, Patrick! I wonder if videochat is the most inclusive method of discussion, not only due to time zone differences, as mentioned by Alex, but also because it makes it harder for introverts from voicing their opinions. In my experience video calls with more than 5 participants tend to be dominated by extroverts. Do we lose anything by making this discussion via email?
Erick, I don't think you're an outsider at all, you're a very active member of the community. I don't think it's healthy for the project to have this mentality of "inner circle of contributors" - as long as you want to contribute - either by participating in the discussions, answering mailing list questions, contributing documentation or code - you're an equally valuable member of the community.
