Community involvement - brainstorming

I think that even better than that would be to write a style guide.

I feel the main purpose of meetings are people to enrol with each other 
while keeping in touch with what is going on. For that I think the ideal 
timing would be once a month.

I think that video-conference is more appropriate, because you can see 
people's faces. On the other hand I am very resistant to use proprietary 
software except when it pains a lot, and that excludes the Google 
Hangouts plug-in.


Daniel Holbach:

Can be an option.

Somehow this is why I usually prefer email for discussing decisions, 
while I keep video-conference and chatting rather for socializing.


Daniel Holbach:

We can. On the other hand I believe that the most effective way of 
promoting the team is people to find information about it when 
navigating pages about ways of contributing to Ubuntu.


Daniel Holbach:
 > Do we have a list of tasks for the rest of the cycle?

1. Put information about the team on the pages about ways of 
contributing to Ubuntu.

2. Write a style guide on how to write documentation, put it in a 
visible place, and tell other teams about it.


Daniel Holbach:
 > Have a great day.

You too ;)
