A dedicated irc proxy volunteer is probably what would be wanted. It is not really a video team task. The talkmeister ought to be watching the clock and passing the microphone, not looking at irc. (incidentally, there's no really strong reason the talkmeister has to be a video team person, either.) -edrz _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
