It might sound very naive to say this, but I found it very cool that it was someone from the States, an Aussie and a Spaniard working on this, open source is something magical when you think about it. Props to everyone involved, all those projects sound like a lot of fun for a good cause.



Both the stylo and servo teams are extremely distributed.

For servo we've had long periods of time where no two employees are in the same office (it helps that most folks are remote).

In both teams we found it impossible to pick meeting times that work for everyone so we instead scheduled two sessions for the recurring meetings, and you can show up for one of them (the team lead / etc are usually at both so they're scheduled such that it is possible for them to attend both). Though for Servo we eventually stopped the meeting since we're pretty good at async communication through all the other channels and the meeting wasn't very useful anymore.

Also, to clarify, while that was the initial team, shortly after getting Wikipedia working the team grew with folks from the Servo and Gecko teams. Eventually we had folks living in the US, Paris, Spain, Australia, Japan, Taiwan, and Turkey working on it. As well as volunteer contributors from all over the place.
