We think that it is important to make sure
Reps know about the things happening in Participation and any decisions
the council makes. We want to use the right ways to communicate our
information.
Please complete this short survey to let us know
what is important to you and how you like us to communicate with you.
The survey should take less than 10 minutes to complete and any
information you provide will not be shared with anybody outside the
Council.
Sorry, my bad. I should stop doing these from airports. This part actually means: Post to reps-general, duplicate on Discourse and then Telegram pin the Discourse link on our channel. This way we get a lot of coverage without hitting absolutely every channel.
What are we going to do with the #remo IRC channels since that is pretty inactive. Can we kill it or do we need a bridge to Telegram?
Could the #remo-dev IRC Channel be incorporated into #participationsystems? Or should we leave it as-is since it’s not a duplicate? (@hmitsch any thoughts on this?)
Can we deprecate the reps-dev mailing list? That one seems inactive.
In my opinion I think that the IRC channel can die I never used, the #remo-dev I think that can be helpful for development.
And for the mailing list I think that is time to migrate on discourse.
Yes, that’s the general plan. We are talking to the Participation Systems team to evaluate possible mechanisms for this. For the reps-dev list however we already have a category here, so I don’t think we need to migrate anything since the mailing list is unused.
As of today’s Council meeting we’ve decided the following:
reps-comms (old list) to be deprecated
reps-students (old list) to be deprecated
reps-council (alias is being used, if we need it, we will create a new category on Discourse)
reps-webdev mailing list (not been used for a long time, replaced by Discourse category)
#remo-dev IRC channel will be merged with #participationsystems
The goal is to have a solution in place where either the main channel is Discourse or both somehow synced. This is rather tricky and will take some time.
