Monthly Bugzilla Meeting

[David Miller]

We've been doing a project call on the first Wednesday of every month
since about 2012 or so.  Once upon a time it was a chance for people to
discuss project issues and talk about bugs they were working on. 
Nowadays it mostly serves as a quick status report, and sometimes (once
or twice a year) a cool demo.  Dylan has been having trouble getting to
them because of work conflicts, and he's one of the primary contributors
to meeting content, so if we're going to keep doing them, we really need
to reschedule it to work at a better time for him.

Of course, the next question is should we even be doing them?  There's
been probably 2 or 3 meetings per year where I've felt "I'm glad we had
that meeting" or "that was cool". :)  Most of them feel like we're going
through the motions just to make the meeting happen.  So is it worth
doing them?  What communication method would work better for getting
information out?  Emailing this list is probably one (I see this will be
the first post on this list in a little over a year, wow!).

FWIW, even the Mozilla Project has dropped having their usual weekly
meetings on Monday because of lack of participation.

Thoughts?

I think this mailing list would be an efficient way. Personally, though
I am interested in the Bugzilla project progress, I haven't remembered
or had time to watch the project meetings in a long time.

A roughly monthly recap of what has been done, and what is possibly
happening next, would be quick to read through and probably also take
less time from the core contributors to prepare. Also announcements
outside the monthly schedule could be good, for major advancements or
advertising things where help would be needed, etc.
