As a related topic to this, I'd like to see us move most of our IRC
channels to freenode.net. If an open source project has an IRC
channel, it is likely to be on freenode. Having our channels on our
own servers puts us in kind of a ghetto, because if forces people to
connect to yet another server. This is a bit of friction that I
think we ought to eliminate.

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
