As this falls under community topics, I am the driver (see Mitch's
recent governance posting) for this topic.
So far I haven't heard any objections. I'd like to record a
decision about this by Thursday morning, so if there are any
additional comments or objections to this proposal please try to
respond by 9AM PST.
Thanks,
Ted

note: I renamed the subject to reflect that this is a different
proposal than the original one about IRC office hours.
Ted has proposed that we move our IRC services from our current
server, hosted and managed by OSAF, to Freenode - below are some
points about the move from my perspective as the IRC admin dude :)
* There are no purely technical reason we run our own IRC server
as we don't run anything custom and have no fancy bots or other
services.
* The two bots, egg and soup, can reside on any IRC server so
they are not a concern
* We have only one channel that is restricted access and on
Freenode we can do the same
On Freenode we can register as a group and then list members of the
group so people's hostnames will appear as *.osaf or
*.osafoundation or something similiar. Registering also allows us
to "own" channels, designate operators to manage the channels and
have formal point of contacts between Freenode and our IT staff
Using Freenode gives us immediate access to their distributed
server setups so we can avoid the issue of IRC being offline due to
a single server failure.
Moving to Freenode would involve the following steps:
1 - Registering as a group
2 - Setting up user lists
3 - Creating the Channels
4 - Moving the bots
5 - Announcing the move
6 - Taking irc.osafoundation.org offline and making the current
domain name a redirect to the Freenode dns entry

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
