Talk:Meetings/2012-10-18

Scope of the discussion
Is the scope purely technical, or is it ok to also discuss how deployments affects users and how to communicate with them? This may widen the scope of this discussion too much so I'm asking here instead of boldly editing the page. If people prefer that there be a separate discussion about that, that's ok. guillom 15:11, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Meeting technology
How can we hold meetings remotely without relying on non-free software? Mutante suggested OpenMeetings, and Mumble is good for voice chat.... --MarkTraceur (talk) 06:29, 5 October 2012 (UTC)


 * I'd prefer to avoid going into meta-level immediately. For one thing, what technologies we use for meetings is realistically constrained by who's going to set up and maintain those technologies. The advantage of Hangout in that regard is that the setup costs to get to a workable level of quality appear to be pretty minimal. It at least works (with proprietary dependencies) on free software platforms. For another, let's get into the habit of having these types of conversations, and get some experience with different types of technical setups through the process.--Eloquence (talk) 21:12, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
