Just wondering, does this also mean that you're signing up for the task? No objections here :-)
Haha :)
I'm afraid not, I'm working on the continuation of NLLGG and takes most of my free time. But I'm willing to talk about what to do and maybe the NLLGG can offer some help with this.
Great. There hasn't been that much happening at the dutch side of FSFE lately. I guess we're all busy with our day jobs and such, but there sure are a lot of plans and ambitions, so your help could definitely come in handy.
Pity you can't be there, I think it would be best if everyone is kept uptodate through this list.
Yeah, I think it's best if we use the mailing list as main "hub" for our communications. In the past there were some who favored meeting IRL and doing most decision making there and then, but as we're not all able to meet at the same time and those times are scarce anyway, I believe it might be best if we use the mailing list as if we're all living continents apart, just like regular FLOSS-projects do :-)
Maybe we can kick off some discussion about what we want to accomplish with FSFE in the lowlands. To summarize discussions we had a while ago, one of the first things would be to show our face at conferences and maybe use our NL (BNL?) team to relieve Rainer a bit. Another thing which is important are translations. I translated the monthly newsletter for a while, but I stopped doing this a while ago, putting more time directly into FLOSS-projects. I think it might be a good idea if we can get the Dutch translations on the road again, but especially regarding the website this is a bit of a Sisyphus task when you try to do it solo.
For me it's not that easy to make it to conferences in the weekend, and fosdem et al, because I'm the main care giver of two daughters. So unless I can push my own work aside during the week (I'm self-employed so that's doable) I won't be able to show my face much. Therefor I would love the idea of using this mailing list as the main spot for discussions and decision making.
Cheers, Jelle
