For me it's a few things. The biggest problem for me is the time. Sundays at 7ish is my only family time that is set for the week. I can sometimes get there if she is on a trip, but not often. The other is that IRC is not very convenient. How about Monday night?

Slack would probably be easier for most people, despite being unfortunately proprietary. We really do need a FLOSS slack/discordalike. Also Mastodon is SO hot right now and actually open source, do you have or have you considered a presence there, or maybe even setting up a Mastodon instance?

In the past few years, participation both on-list and on IRC has dropped precipitously. I'd like to bring this up for discussion. There are really two issues at hand. The first, is that meetings do take time and interfere with other plans. Meetings haven't been well-attended for some time now, and I don't think having meetings just to have them are very helpful. Would it be a good idea to reduce meetings to monthly? Second, of course, is that participation and activity are very low. This is a global problem across the Ubuntu Local Community Team landscape. But we shouldn't take it for granted, either. If there are issues that need to be addressed, or improvements to be made, it's important that I hear from you so that we can all work together to make things better. Let me know if there's anything that you think we could do to help make the California team a more interesting thing to be involved in. -- Nathan Haines Ubuntu - https://www.ubuntu.com/ -- Ubuntu-us-ca mailing list Ubuntu-us-ca@lists.ubuntu.com<mailto:Ubuntu-us-ca@lists.ubuntu.com> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ca
