[samigo-team] Samigo Working Group meeting tomorow?

[Makoto Tsuchitani]

Hi Lynn,

Just wanted to chime in and suggest that if you are planning on moving more of the group's business to an asynchronous technology, it might be more manageable to use some type of system (e.g., Sakai project site, Google Apps site, etc.) rather than solely rely on email. Doing so would make it easier to track discussions and keep track of related documents, etc.; while also reducing the traffic in one's Inbox.

Just a thought,

Makoto

To address this problem,  we could try to conduct most business and discussion asynchronously on list.  Or, we could continue to meet synchronously, but provide enough information both before and after the meeting for others to discuss and weigh in on list.  If we abandon the bi-weekly conference calls, and move to a primarily synch format, we may want to think about adding some structure (maybe a monthly call for topics, followed by a fixed period of discussion).  Otherwise, we'll probably see participation fall off.
