Hi,
+1 on the plan/idea in general.
We may also add a sort of general "owner" per list, someone who'd ping
the relevant mailing list to call for subjects twice a week, remind
people the IRC hour exist and advertize the subject if there's one. All
of this just to make sure these irc hours are adequately bootstrapped at
the beginning and don't just simply fade away with time.
Cheers,
- Philippe

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
