Hey guys,
I've stumbled upon Jenkins' Office Hours initiative at
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Office+Hours and I found the idea to be nice.
I wonder if there are users or xwiki devs who could be interested by setting this up for
the XWiki project too
See https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Office+Hours
WDYT?
Thanks
-Vincent

Hi,
I find the idea to be very interesting. For example what I could do is set
up a session and demo a bit the prototype for one of the proposal I make.
Seeing a demo could be more easy to digest than reading the proposal,
although I try to be as short as possible and include as many mockups as I
can :) For example one candidate for such a session would be the Flamingo
Skin http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/Skin4x
Since the hangouts are recorded I could go over the verbal feedback and
take notes(because the written feedback mails would be missing). The
feedback could be from a development or usability perspective.
Discussions about development issues would go in the same way. We could
also hold votes meetings (if is the case) and discuss our opinions until we
reach a conclusion. Sometimes is easier to talk than to write.
GSOC students could benefit from having an introductory session with the
devs.
Q/A from community members would be kind of interesting for the users, but
could get easily get out of control (depending on the number of
participants and how generic/specific the questions would be). Having to
wait in line to get your question answered is not that interesting.
Another idea related to hangouts would be stream our july Hackaton.
The IRC/mailing lists are a great place to discuss and have your questions
answered, but the video/demo/talk/pair-programming/hangout idea could be
interesting for certain use cases.
What I would like to know if other members of the community (beside the
committers) would be interested in such things.
Thanks,
Caty

Great, we just need some volunteers to bootstrap the thing and we're rolling.
You could be the first one to go! :)
The only thing that seems important to me is that this should be a discussion place but no
decision should be taken on the hangout. Anything important for the project should go on
the mailing list following the usual Proposal/Vote process since this is the only process
that is fair, i.e. it gives enough time to everyone to answer.
Let's see what others think and let's sit on it for a week. Then if we get enough
interest, we could decide on a timetable (regular times is the best IMO, like every 1st
Tuesday of the month at a given time).
Some "open mic" sessions are great too. And others for users to ask questions
live is also great.
Thanks

Hi Vincent,
if you look at Jenkins, apparently most Office Hours are handled by the
project lead. So unless you want to do it yourself, I'm not sure who else
might do it.
