Ignite Dev List

This list is the primary and the default communication channel - dev@ignite.apache.org 

...

and type in "ignite" in the search window as shown below

Conference Meetings

Phone calls and other verbal forms of meetings (let's just call them conference meetings) are usefull for:

• Community wide-announcements or introduction of big ideas after the main content was outlined on the dev list.
• Collaboration between a group of contributors who are working on a specific task for which it will be beneficial to jump on calls occasionally.

You are not obliged but suggested to use Google Meetings that are free and open, and go with screen sharing as well as video-call capabilities. Moreover, most of us have google accounts and will be able to arrange a meeting easily. Just go to https://calendar.google.com and select a time spot that suits everyones time. But don't forget do add "Hangouts" reference and invite dev@ignite.apache.org to the meeting as shown on the picture below.

Image AddedThe reason why the whole dev list should be invited is that some of the contributors might be willing to take part in the meeting and share their thoughts in advance; or they might want just to sit and listen learning more about Ignite. If you are willing to speak your native language different from English then just put a disclaimer in the title or description of the invite.

And, as it's said many times, always share summaries of the discussions with the dev list.
