So my remote talk (about things not yet in wiki):
I had some discussion with Vorlon about network and video team. I
confess that some parts were to me really surprises (I'm also following
video-team as video-team volunteer). He told me: We wrote to the list
about requirements, leadership, etc., we had no answer and so we put
local people in charge, etc.
I see two problems:
One: we should be more active on looking replies from past/local teams
(repeat pings/ messages). I think it could help avoiding
misunderstanding and possibly double work.
But the real problem is the missing replies. For this reason I was
convinced by vorlon that we need people in charge for specific
tasks/teams, so that team will look minutes, ev. attend meeting and
provide smooth information exchanges between teams.
Note: the active part is also difficult, it needs a person who know many
details of debconf (previously this task was done informally by moray
[and his comments]). So I think we should be more active on finding
reply, but we should work a lot harder on getting replies
But this is also a global problem in communications. We had clear
discussion about Le Camp type (and agreed to do the experiment) and
no-DebCamp in this DC, but also such information was lost by many members.
How to pass important communications?
ciao

Note: the problem with lack of replies happens also no local team: the
detailed planing phase is done very early, but the execution is done
near a year after such planing (so many locals will skip most of interim
communication)
