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.
