Re: [ossig] MOSIG list kinda quiet

Hi Molly

perhaps I'm over reacting a bit but these are my concerns:

1. Thanks to Ammar we have a professional to review the document - this 
is what I meant by "formal review" - the thing is will she be willing 
to have it coming back with lots of little changes 4-5 times .... 
because of ....

2. Not enough people have seen the document and provided feedback - 
Thanks to the 5 of you who made the time/effort but the rest of us just 
couldn't make it. This is going to be an iterative process so lets at 
least make it asynchronous

3. My feeling is the 20 people who turned up at the first meeting 
cannot be considered a sufficiently large enough group - and one person 
who turned up could not attend - I don't care what he has done but if 
he is interested to participate, he should be able to. Just like a code 
review, the more people look at the document, the more feedback we will 
get and once the document has been through several rounds of review it 
should be ready to pass to a professional to look at...so we don't 
"abuse our resources"

4. July 17th is a way off, the document review by as many people as 
possible (isn't this the OSS way?) should start now, so major concerns 
may be highlighted and handled early - the document should at least be 
sent to everyone on the MOSIG mailing list and any new list members who 
sign up (if it were up to me I would post it to every OSS mailing list 
in Malaysia and on a web site for everyone to download - like an IETF 
RFC) . So even if people cannot make it to the meetings they can 
provide feedback through the mailing list - isn't that what the mailing 
list is for ? I can tell you right now, my workload in the next 2 weeks 
will prevent me from attending any meetings but I would like to 
participate in the creation of this document ... the only way for me to 
do this at this time is if I have a copy of the document - and I'll bet 
so will many other people

5. It looks to some people that this is a closed group limited to the 
20 on the first day - that is probably the worst point - don't make 
turning up at the meeting the only way to participate in this
