[chef-dev] Re: [chef] Community meeting tomorrow (Jan 8th)

[Noah Kantrowitz < >]

Hi there,

First off thanks for all the help on StackOverflow :D The time of the meeting 
was definitely a "lesser of all evils" thing, and is definitely preferential 
to UTC-N folks, but it was the best option from the original scheduling 
survey. We basically use the RFC pull requests as a mini-forum for each 
proposal. The meetings serve to focus the discussion and make sure everyone 
is on the same page, but we always discuss all the issues raised on the PR 
and much of the discussion happens outside the meetings in those comments. 

As for non-English folks, thats a much bigger issue and one I'm afraid I 
don't have a great suggestion on. It is super annoying to say "sorry all 
discussion in English" but in the end thats the language the maintainer team 
uses so you'll have to be able to make your case to them at some point. I 
would definitely love to see a list of volunteers that feel comfortable 
enough in multiple languages to technical conversations, maybe something we 
could either make a document for or add to the community ambassadors section 
of that RFC?

I missed the last meeting but barring oversleeping I'll be sending out my 
usual post-meeting summary so at least you can get some idea of what 
happened. Hopefully we can get a little more disciplined about adding 
relevant comments to the PRs themselves so those following along there will 
see them too. I can also start including the links to the raw IRC log for 
those that want to review some bit in more detail. Thanks for all the input, 
definitely want to see participation get easier for everyone!
