Hi all,

What can we do to make the cross-project meeting more helpful and useful for cross-project communications? I started with a proposal to move it to a different time, which morphed into an idea to alternate times. But, knowing that we need to layer communications I wonder if we should troubleshoot cross-project communications further? These are the current ways cross-project communications happen:

1. The weekly meeting in IRC
2. The cross-project specs and reviewing those
3. Direct connections between team members
4. Cross-project talks at the Summits

What are some of the problems with each layer?

1. weekly meeting: time zones, global reach, size of cross-project concerns due to multiple projects being affected, another meeting for PTLs to attend and pay attention to

I would actually love to attend the cross-project IRC meeting but it falls in a perfectly bad time for my time zone so I can never make it. When daylight savings time end the first week of November I'll start attending because it will be 1 hour earlier for me.

2. specs: don't seem to get much attention unless they're brought up at weekly meeting, finding owners for the work needing to be done in a spec is difficult since each project team has its own priorities 3. direct communications: decisions from these comms are difficult to then communicate more widely, it's difficult to get time with busy PTLs 4. Summits: only happens twice a year, decisions made then need to be widely communicated

I'm sure there are more details and problems I'm missing -- feel free to fill in as needed.

Lastly, what suggestions do you have for solving problems with any of these layers?

Thanks,
Anne
