Hi,
Thanks for proposing this Katie. Two quick thoughts that I had:
1. As you mentioned about proposing the discussion early on, who would
be responsible for conflicting schedules? Not that this would happen frequently, but there
should also probably be someone who is tasked at deciding who should go
when, on which days? If there are conflicts that is...
2. Also in regards to Q.1, perhaps there should only be one topic on
one channel on the Wed. & Fri. Mainly if people have interest in
two or three topics, trying to follow several threads at the same time
is somewhat difficult (at least for me it is.). Or for those who like
to multi-task, maybe it's a good thing?
3. Okay, a 3rd thought just came to mind. What about having a guest to
host an IRC discussion sometime? Unless that's happened before?
Cheers, -Priscilla

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
