Just to add a data point: I was able to explain most of the Vancouver 
controversy to a DD who doesn't follow -devel in 15 minutes telephone time. 
After my experience with summarizing the -vote discussion I don't think I 
could do something similar (electronic document) with the Vancouver thread 
without several days of work.

I believe Ean is not arguing about what is the most effective way. He
runs his own s/w development company and he knows the value of face to
face meetings.

The point is, we as Debian team, should not depend on physical meetings
as a way to conduct business. If we do, then we are essentially saying
that only those developers who are rich enough (in terms of money,
time , ability ) to travel are only ones who are worthy of contributing.
It has got nothing to do with the amount of work they are putting into
Debian.

Further, we already have small teams that are responsible for particular
tasks - ftpmasters, release team, X Strike force, gcc etc. The primary
difference I see is that a few people are advocating physical meetings
as "the" way to optimize their jobs and IMHO, that is a very wrong
precedent.

Regards,
Vaidhy

PS: Hi Ean, I am back from dead for you :)

This is not really the case.  Those spending lots and lots of time and
doing lots and lots of work on Debian related activities, do tend to
get their travel funded to go to such meetings.  The two
debian-installer devcamps was funded by Debian Edu.  Several of the
central people in Debian got their travel to the 2003 and 2004
devcamp/debconf funded by HP, Lindows, Canonical and others.  The
ftpmaster/release team gathering was funded by Debian Edu.  The Custom
Debian Distro workshop in Spain will be funded by some Spanish
government agency.

And these physical meetings have proven effective both as a way to
speed up the progress in Debian, and to grease the interaction on-line
after the meetings.

No-one has proposed to replace all the on-line interaction (email,
IRC, etc) with physical meetings.  We are talking about giving the
existing teams, with the currently active members, an opportunity to
meet and talk and coordinate and come up with new ideas, not to
exclude everyone else, but as a way to speed up progress.  I've been
to a few such meetings, and everyone there have been very clear on the
need to keep the rest of Debian involved.  That is the reason the
summaries keep flowing from these meeting, bug reports are created to
organize the ideas, design proposals are written and posted on the
mailing lists, and the people at these meetings keep hanging out on
IRC, reporting what is happening to those unable to join.

So I not believe the danger is really present, as all those heavily
involved in Debian are aware of the importance of keeping the
development process open to all the capable people in the Debian
community. :)

How to you fund the time people need to travel to and stay at the meetings?

Given the answers (and non-answers) to replies of the Vancouver
prospectus, I wonder if some people have not simply decided otherwise.

Until now, we haven't.  As I said, those already investing lots of
time into Debian tend to get their travel and lodging expenses covered
to join the meetings in questions.  Experience have shown that at
least some of these are able to re-prioritize their time to be able to
join these meetings.

I'm aware that some people want/need to have their lost work-time
funded as well.  Those unable or unwilling to spend holiday or talking
days/hours off in exchange for working overtime do have a problem
joining such meetings.  But at least in my head it is a question of
priorities.

As far as I know, most of us joining the d-i devcamp spent our holiday
to go there.  Those of us going to the debian-edu devcamp coming up in
Greece or the CDD devcamp in Spain do the same.  So I offer my
holidays and time, and get the travel and lodging funded in return.  I
do not believe this is such a bad bargin. :)

I was unable to read all the thousands of email flooding in after the
proposal, so I'm not really sure what you are referring to here.  But
I do not believe anything is set in stone yet.

I'm glad to see the positive results from the meeting; a
revitalisation of the ftpmaster team and better coordination between
the ftpmasters and the release team with regard to the upcoming Sarge
release.  With that background, I do not see the point of writing so
much about the thoughts presented for the Etch release.  I see it as a
tactical blunder to post both these points in the same email, as the
latter took the focus away from the former.  And in hindsight, I also
believe it would have been better to write down more of the thoughts
behind the Etch proposal and make it easier to understand that the
text was a proposal to solve the release problems as seen by the
release team and the ftp-mastesr, not the only solution.

[Btw, it has been brought to my attention that several people believe
I am paid by debian-edu to work on Debian.  This is not the case.
I've been working full time at the University of Oslo since 2001,
doing Debian work in my spare time.  This is about to change, as I
will be working 40% for Skolelinux from April 1th.  Debian Edu have
only two Debian developers working full time on Debian Edu and Debian
stuff: Joey Hess and Andreas Schuldei.  (And two others working on
political stuff here in Norway. :)]
