Hi,
Thanks for proposing this Katie. Two quick thoughts that I had:
1. As you mentioned about proposing the discussion early on, who would
be responsible for conflicting schedules? Not that this would happen
frequently, but there should also probably be someone who is tasked at
deciding who should go when, on which days? If there are conflicts that
is...
Pieter currently maintains the chat schedule:
http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Projects/ChatSchedule
He could continue to do this and be responsible for sorting out any
conflicts.
2. Also in regards to Q.1, perhaps there should only be one topic on one
channel on the Wed. & Fri. Mainly if people have interest in two or
three topics, trying to follow several threads at the same time is
somewhat difficult (at least for me it is.). Or for those who like to
multi-task, maybe it's a good thing?
Agreed, we could limit ourselves to one scheduled conversation at a
time, and assume that some people will want to participate in different
projects' conversations.
3. Okay, a 3rd thought just came to mind. What about having a guest to
host an IRC discussion sometime? Unless that's happened before?
Yes, we've had "guest" hosts: Nick Bastin and Brian Kirsch led a
discussion about wrapping ICU in Python.
I'll amend the proposal to say that any community member could propose
to host a scheduled conversation if they wanted.
Cheers,
Katie

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
