Talk:Conference Committee/Planning meeting 1

Why are you having this on the same day as a meeting elsewhere in London? Wouldn't it be sensible to have this as a breakout session at the Oak? WereSpielChequers (talk) 12:37, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Same day, different time. The idea is to have this meeting for a couple of hours in the morning, and e done in time to attend the meetup (perhaps not dead on 13:00, depending on time). There's never going to be a perfect date and time, but this is looking less imperfect than most—even if it keeps a few folks from their beer temporarily.

OK see you afterwards. BTW a Skype conference call would probably work for this and enable more to participate. WereSpielChequers (talk) 19:38, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

In my experience, skype conference calls don't work with more than about 5 people. The quality is too poor for it to be workable. It's also difficult with too many people because they end up talking over each other. An in person meeting is better. --Tango (talk) 20:52, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Yes but you can combine the two - an in person meeting with a skype channel for those who can't get there WereSpielChequers (talk) 08:18, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Indeed; I think Seddon is going to be participating via Skype, and I'm happy for one or two others to join in that way. For folks who are curious but don't necessarily want to be heard, I'll make sure any decisions or action points are posted here afterwards (and in theory, we could always webcast it).

• Fæ I would have liked to join a lessons learned discussion, but Sunday morning after a long and stressful day dealing with the AGM is probably an over-commitment for me. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 12:30, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
