Community Weather Report
Just a stupid idea before heading off to lunch: I was thinking of publishing a highly personal and IMVHO Community Weather Report, which reflects on a weekly basis how the few communities I'm working with or lurking on are going along. Of course, one can wonder WTF might be interested in my analysis of community health, but that's the entire vision behind blogging IMO: except for those I happened to meet and greet, I'm just a dog and nobody should really care :-)So here's the first weather report for the previous week, all ASF communities which translate to mailing list available from the archives:
- Cocoon: good weather even though the recent massive CVS reshuffling has raised the tension somewhat between the commercial and non-commercial contributors to the project
- Xindice: in Dutch, we call this "windstil and wachten", which means no real weather
- Avalon: looks like some clouds are gathering again, and bad feelings of the past are not forgetten yet
- Forrest: spring is waiting to happen, but the amount of debris after the winter hacking storm is preventing the crocus to blossom
- Community: it's spring time already with lots of things happening, some little showers here and there
- Jakarta: same as usual, but a little storm is in preparation over who gets to run the club
