Engagement could coordinate and host these events and sessions. I think we should begin putting together a set of tools and begin testing things out and see what works for everyone. In the immediate I think adding a GNOME Discourse site would be a great tool for people to follow GNOME meetings and general day-to-day activities.
Tools we need: - Discourse, www.discourse.org, to create a place for more dynamic and real-time communication. - "Hangouts" video-conferencing software that can be self-hosted, needs to be FOSS <--- need to find this - Some sort of "etherpad" for code that looks good and allows for live collaborative editing, needs to be FOSS as well <--- suggestions? If anyone wants to discuss this please let me know and I'll jump on to IRC and explain what I'm trying to do here...
