The meeting was a failure. Unfortunately, my pessimism, regarding the formula used in our case was 100% correct. I originally did proposed a meeting of volonteers, willing to take part and discuss about things they inted to do, in order to coordinate the effort and perhaps discuss the best way to solve the problems encountered.
Our meetings turned into a massive social event, too boring to participate actively. Want a proof? out of 3x people logged, we had... less than a dozen of votes back?
This is simply a waste of time. Perhaps some of participants can just write off 3-4 hours one thursday at the end of each month, but for me this is not acceptable.
Its a pity to see so much work from Colin, Amine and Vicmarcal, spent on organizing and wriitng up for the meetings, simply wasted. Just take a shot and count the ratio of hours spent in the meeting, vs decisions actually made.
Working over 10-11 hours a day, few hours every evening is usually all i have, shared also with my social life.
I prefer having social meetings in real life, not on IRC, hence, this is the last meeting i am participating in. Please cross my name out.
