Discussions

bl: comfortable frequency for everyone to check GitHub
- maximum day to check?
- use emoji
yj: no way for WGs to meet and come to consensus on something
bl: a lot of things relate to everyone, how do I get permission to move ahead on things?
pc: how about a walkthru of things?
yj: chat seems to be a space, loomio is daunting, github feels right
bl: we now link into loomio thru github
pc: in-person paired walkthru of CRM tool seemed really helpful, can we do more of these?
- uv: should we walkthru a github flow?
uv: too much noise and unclear urgency expectations
bl: I have no max turn-around expectation, and I have no official way of communicating urgency
uv: deadlines are important, communicate blocks clearly
bl: responsible use of @ mentions
yj: make a urgent ping channel
uv: personally prefer email + signal, but don’t want more tools
uv: backscroll
uv: chat is disposable
- yj: yea use github for things we want to keep
- pc: Public Lab has update vs. discussion meeting
do we need loomio?
- single source of truth is github, link to loomio vote when needed
- people are missing loomio notifications bc they get lost in the reminders
uv + ben: prefer @ mention practice
uv: @ other experiences, more sync chats (e.g. on the phone) and less async communications
uv + ben: think there is too much process, we should be able to get away with much less
uv + bl: everyone check github at least once a week max, if things are more urgent then ping handle on matrix

#todo:bl make a PR in handbook about this
