Maybe you misunderstood my proposal, I totally agree with you about
IRC meetings. I didn't propose video calls as a full replacement for
IRC meetings. Also, I've never said to use video calls every single
day.
These team video calls would be good to exist for different reasons.
These video calls are going to promote Gentoo, our team efforts and
could be useful to our users and those who want to contribute. As I
said before, it is optional, a team maybe choose not to do any video
call, a team could do *only one* video call and stop or a team could
do frequent video calls. It's up to the team to decide.
