So, the amended proposal:
+ Folks are welcome to propose topics for planned IRC conversations
(anyone can propose a topic, not just OSAF staff)
+ Pieter will maintain the schedule of planned IRC conversations:
http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Projects/ChatSchedule. Pieter
will be responsible for managing conflicts.
+ Planned conversations can happen in whatever channel is appropriate
(cosmo, scooby, chandler, or as-yet-to-be-created-public-osaf-channel)
+ We will avoid having multiple scheduled conversations at one time
+ We will create a public osaf channel so that we can have conversations
that apply across projects
+ The person proposing the topic is responsible for facilitating (or
finding a facilitator)
+ Pieter and the person proposing the topic will work out the announcement
+ Any date/time can be chosen, although 11am PST Wed/Fri is preferred.
Note that I changed this from 1pm after Andi pointed out that folks in
Europe have some chance of making the morning office hours, and we do
get some international interest.
Unless someone speaks up in the next 2 days, we'll go ahead with this plan.
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
