After participating in the cosmo bug councils in irc recently, I'm
strongly in favor of moving to IRC. +1
It does require that the person driving the bug councils move the
conversation along, announcing each bug. It also requires that the
stakeholders be on top of typing their 2c quickly after the bug is
announced.
Pros (restating some that Philippe listed):
- It forces each stakeholder to make a call (cut to the chase)
- It allows other parties to selectively participate, which can be a big
bonus
- We have a record of the discussion on how we made the call, giving
people more context into how the decisions were made
My experience is that both methods are roughly equivalent in terms of
efficiency (bugs/hour). In both cases, it is important that people are
focused on triaging bugs and not going down ratholes or trying to solve
problems without having all of the information at hand.
Cheers,
Katie

Hi,
Sending the Bug Council reminder, I realized I forgot to ask something
to the list: it was suggested thatwe do triage sessions on IRC like
Cosmo does. I'm all for it personally though it takes a little more
structure to make sure the meeting goes well.
Pros:
- everybody can participate / see what's happening
- devs can react in real time when we talk about bugs assigned to them
Cons:
- can disrupt the flow of IRC conversation on the channel (whichever we
choose though I think #chandler would be the most appropriate)
- need a little more policing of the meeting flow
We won't do this for the upcoming meeting (today @ 4pm) but I thought
I'd ask around. +1? veto?
Cheers,
- Philippe

Hi Bug Council members,
Just a reminder that we have a Bug Council @ 4pm this afternoon. I
(finally) added this to the Office Calendar...
Cheers,
