Dear Matthias,
Whilst the social-ish (Purism) IRC channels are helpful to some degree, I'm starting to feel somewhat isolated with my work on PureOS.
Me too, a bit - we might just need more communication in general on what we are working on, like this particular mail thread :-)
I'm generally not one to send "me too" or "+1" emails, but I will get over my usual reticence that here to underline that this would be great.
How can I help?
I agree with both of you. :-)
Perhaps we can set up ourselves the tooling we need? Is there a way we can use the server at 45.33.86.90 to enable the PureOS changes notifications? I'm not sure what is required so this might be a ridiculous suggestion.
Regarding greater communication, I agree strongly. I think that there is currently a chat based culture of communication internally while many of us who work on PureOS perhaps work more in the mailing list culture. I sometimes prefer the mailing list style of communication because of its asynchronicity and (usually) more thoughtful approach. However if I'm not in the chat rooms I feel I miss things, I also am easily distracted by other issues that pop-up there, to the detriment of my communication via email.
I propose to be more active on the list. I have some topics I'd like to bring up anyway, but perhaps I'll try and be a bit of a bridge between the folks working on PureOS and those on the Purism admin / project management side who I work with. As we move forward we'll want those teams to interact more anyway. I'll try to post a report weekly.
Cheers,
Jeremiah
