[Opensim-dev] Design Review (UNCLASSIFIED)

[Diva Canto]

Hi Doug and everyone working for Doug,

In OpenSim, design is something that happens continuously and in closed 
loop with implementation.

We don't have scheduled meetings, because that would be pretty much 
impossible to set up given all other commitments that people have and 
time zones where people live.

In order to support continuous design/implementation, we meet 
"continuously" in the IRC #opensim-dev channel -- that's our large, 
open, perpetually on, meeting room. If you login there, chances are you 
will find a critical mass of us also logged in. Even when we can't 
participate, we will see the chat log later on, especially if our names 
have been mentioned, because IRC clients have visual cues when someone 
mentions certain keywords of interest to us. When that happens, we 
usually ping back. And even when we are logged off when important 
conversations happen, someone will copy-paste the chat when we join. So, 
all in all, much better than a scheduled meeting.

Having said that, the best time periods to get critical mass on any day 
of the week are probably 9am to 9pm PST. And if you really want to make 
sure certain of us are there, send those people an email or PM asking if 
they can make themselves available at a certain date/time.

Looking forward to seeing many more of you there, (please do join!)
Diva / Crista
