This sounds like a very good idea.. I prefer the idea of IRC to Conf Call as its often hard to make out what people are saying, and to contribute if there are many people on the line. > I would suggest we try to come up with a fixed time interval > (e.g. certain day and time every or every other week) and place > (#oi-meeting on freenode for now) and create a page on the wiki > where everybody can add agenda items and where IRC logs can be > posted later.

I can do any time that sits between 7am in the morning and 2am at night in GMT/UTC (Or easier, I can't do 2am to 7am in the middle of the night GMT/UTC). The last time I tried to plot this, it was very difficult to pick a time that suited West Coast USA + Europe + Japan + Australia. I'd propose we pick a time thats good for USA West Coast + Europe, rather than pick a time that suits nobody, since thats where most of the developers are. (Sorry people in Japan/Australia/that general direction of the globe!)
