Dave Cridland
Hard to keep up with this thread, now. :-)
-
SM
Oh, you should have seen my working group:)
-
SM
So if I read it correctly, Dave and Kevin flamed me?:)
-
Dave Cridland
Oh, I can flame better than that.
-
SM
Are you sure?:)
-
Dave Cridland
Well, nobody's contacted me off-list to calm down yet. :-)
-
SM
:D
-
SM
BTW, are there members from Asia?
-
Dave Cridland
I thought we had a couple. Primarily it's Europe and the US, though.
-
SM
Hmm, it helps to have some people from Japan
-
Dave Cridland
We have a very marked European slant, compared to most organizations. I often wonder if that's related to the (usually very successful) Summit we hold at FOSDEM.
-
SM
That was the odd thing, XSF is more European than the usual SDOs
-
Zash
There were some from Japan last year in Brussels right? Maybe there should be a summit in Asia too?
-
Zash
Doen't the IETF rotate their meetings between America, Europe and Asia?
-
Dave Cridland
Right, but FOSDEM is much much larger than RTC, and our engagement is better. We usually have a room (not this year, but this is the first for ages) and recently we've had a "Realtime Lounge" as well. I don't know that this is the cause for our European concentration, or if it's a product of it, but I can't think it hurts.
-
Dave Cridland
Zash, US mostly, with one a year in EU or Asia.
-
Dave Cridland
Zash, And we had Japanese presenters in 2012's Brussels Summit, didn't we?
-
Zash
Dave Cridland: I believe so.
-
SM
Zash, yes. But there is also the cost element.
-
Dave Cridland
SM, I think we have more funds per head than the IETF, though.
-
SM
Dave, did you hear about LINE?
-
Dave Cridland
I don't think so.
-
SM
They chose a proprietory protocol instead of XMPP.
-
Zash
LINE?
-
SM
They are said to have 100 million users.
