Hello, community! We've been using IRC for a long time, but it's been informal, and we'd meet at random times. We've also been meeting in real life, but only every 6 months. How about combining the two ideas and establishing monthly IRC meetings? They could constitute a useful middle ground between the slow paced, low-interaction mailing list and high-interaction but costly IRL meetings.
Here are some proposed details: - The meeting would be held on a designated day of week on e.g. every Nth week of the month, or something like "last Wednesday of the month". - The meeting would be 1h hour long. A designated person would track the time and indicate transitions between agenda items. - The agenda would be on our wiki, where project members would add items they want to discuss. - Meeting logs would not be publicly accessible (this doesn't rule out local logging) Here is a wiki page I started, with agenda items: http://wiki.opencsw.org/irc-meeting-agenda Please add items. If there will be too many items for an 1h meeting, we'll move the items to the next one. I have created a doodle so we can pick the best date and time for everybody. When selecting a date, don't just think "Nth of May", but think "Monday" or "Wednesday" and how it fits into your week. For me for example, Thursdays would be non-optimal, because of my other weekly activities. All times are in UTC, please take your time zone into account. For example, 17:00 UTC is 18:00 CEST (Central Europe), is 12:00 EST (East Coast), is 09:00 PST (West Coast). Here's the doodle for the meeting: http://www.doodle.com/kmfdyrfc8kwcum2x Please pick times that suit you best.
