I'd like to propose some changes to IRC office hours.

The original plan was to hold an "office hours" in the #chandler channel once a week. We queued up a list of topics, rotating the host between groups. The goal was to get osaf staff to hang out in irc and talk to people who might join us on the project. Eventually we scaled back to bi-weekly topics.

Now we hang out in irc all of the time and have several projects going. Even though we're frequently in irc, it can be useful to have some scheduled topics for irc sessions. I'd like to see us schedule these sessions in #chandler, #cosmo, #scooby, or #osaf based on the need or desire for a conversation, QA session, etc. It would work something like this...

+ We have two slots a week for planned IRC sessions, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm PST. (A couple of people mentioned that these might be better times than Wed at 11am PST.)

+ Anyone can propose a topic for a slot, preferably at least a few days ahead of time.

+ The person proposing the topic is responsible for being the facilitator/host of the session (or finding a facilitator).

+ The person proposing the topic is responsible for choosing the channel and broadcasting the notice.

+ We should use an #osaf channel (logged) as a space for cross-project discussions (not just scheduled sessions, but in general).

Thoughts?

btw: Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I wasn't sure that everyone was subscribed and spammed the other lists, but it would be good to move all discussions like this to general.

Cheers,
Katie
