Hi everybody, Short explanation:
on last weekly meeting [1] we have been talking about the weekly meetings (meta-weekly meeting chat), and we agreed that it would be better to stop to have a weekly meeting by default, moving the coordination and general discussion to the mailing list. We could keep handling meetings, but those would be summoned by demand if needed. Full explanation: as most of you already know, the GNOME accessibility team has a weekly team every week, except some some cancellations now and then. I'm not sure how long they have been around, but when I started to collaborate with the accessibility team around 2009/2010, they were already around. So at least, we are talking about 5 years of a meeting per week. The main purpose of the meetings was helping to coordinate the team on a weekly basis. But during the recent years, there was little to coordinate as most people worked on a what-is-needed-now basis, so at this moment the weekly meetings were more a update meeting, in order to know what people is doing at the moment. Somehow that means that the weekly meetings are less relevant that in previous years. It would be better to use that time on real coding that on meetings. Additionally we need to take into account that the accessibility team is formed by people from several timezones, making finding the time that works well with everybody complicated. It was also noted that on the recent months, people were more busy with other meetings and other day job responsibilities. Somehow, weekly meetings started to become a burden. With that personal feeling, I approached the rest of the people during last weekly meeting [1]. And it seems that most people agreed with I was saying (and probably due other reasons I forgot to list here). As mentioned on the list, we decided that it would be better a "asynchronous" coordination instead of a "synchronous" coordination. So everything related to the team day-by-day coordination would be moved to the mailing list, and any meeting would be summoned on demand. Of course IRC would be still there for pings between developers.
