I find calls easy to review AND to prepare for (in only a couple minutes, thanks Matt, for setting up consistent call settings!), and I also find there is consensus that discussion can happen but decisions will go to the list (with any pertinent discussion details). We can do better to announce this more explicitly on the call (I didn’t yesterday, not sure about last call), but regardless I believe we have been good about following this approach (reserve decisions for PR/issue discussion and email list) I find the calls immensely helpful to surface a subset of topics that are easily, but more tediously, available already in some other form on dev list, commit comments, and PR discussions.

As someone who's mostly lurking so far I feel I'm losing some information by not attending those calls - especially because it looks like they are great exchanges ;-) Something that might be worth trying is sending several messages to this list during the call, one per "important" topic, with a subject like marker like [call] and a brief summary of what was discussed, action items etc. Something like (just a fictional example of course :-/ ) *** [call] Rewriting the core in Visual Basic We discussed this during the call (9:30 to 9:45 PST) and people fell like we shouldn't do it right now. https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furldefense.proofpoint.com%2Fv2%2Furl%3Fu%3Dhttps-3A__github.com_apache_incubator-2Dopenwhisk_issues_2841%26d%3DDwIBaQ%26c%3Djf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg%26r%3D6zQLM7Gc0Sv1iwayKOKa4_SFxRIxS478q2gZlAJj4Zw%26m%3Dl84nzpLZFr0gIf49HNtBCLETb7U0xkx2k43IaYD8PPU%26s%3DlPmPM0sQEm_f4ujFkTAzT0PdrbzEGELKDEwZLGizeyo%26e&data=02%7C01%7C%7Ca124f14efaf9466b036f08d51188b8d9%7Cfa7b1b5a7b34438794aed2c178decee1%7C0%7C0%7C636434201269193015&sdata=SPFHDD7BhA9i1aNj6QZLSUpIM0hVm3anKXOSMaj2IyI%3D&reserved=0= is related as well as https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furldefense.proofpoint.com%2Fv2%2Furl%3Fu%3Dhttps-3A__github.com_apache_incubator-2Dopenwhisk_pull_2850%26d%3DDwIBaQ%26c%3Djf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg%26r%3D6zQLM7Gc0Sv1iwayKOKa4_SFxRIxS478q2gZlAJj4Zw%26m%3Dl84nzpLZFr0gIf49HNtBCLETb7U0xkx2k43IaYD8PPU%26s%3DvUWNbLBdtAZmLcofAtyeTzO7jgbH76rhr3rY19nvzJM%26e&data=02%7C01%7C%7Ca124f14efaf9466b036f08d51188b8d9%7Cfa7b1b5a7b34438794aed2c178decee1%7C0%7C0%7C636434201269193015&sdata=JG7b3vEpyl8XbDjDMGnQIcJ5ZqZyZjtg%2BkdGKPy5ho4%3D&reserved=0= *** Having the approximate times in there helps review the discussions in the video recording. I *think* this might be more useful than a set of notes (or complementary maybe), it brings awareness of the calls here and it's probably quick to write during the call. That's just a suggestion, of course whoever does the work gets to decide. -Bertrand
