I think we should have some kind of agenda, previously published,

channel moderated (so that questions get asked one by one).
It is good to have 2 channels but I don't think the second one needs
to
be moderated, if the topic being discussed is clear i.e. "Discussing
[topic] with [Nokia guy/team]".
Seems to me like #maemo and #maemo-meeting would work out just fine.
#maemo never really gets going TOO hard and the people who who make
most of the noise in #maemo are going to be in #maemo-meeting,
anyway. . . .
In most cases we don't want a pure Q&A (like the first chat ended up
being) but a discussion on the stuff that really matters. Doing this
fluently with moderation in between is harder. If the second room gets
also too crowded with noise then we can always move to the
moderation model.
I'm not convinced moderation is called for at this point. It
introduces too much of a barrier to entry for a lot of people and
takes away the spur-of-the-moment discussion aspect of things (which
is implied by the meeting part of #maemo-meeting ;)). I think we can
solve this with less drastic means for the second session (keep in
mind, this was the first session, so everybody was kinda testing the
waters and getting a feel for how things should operate—bumps are to
be expected).
Lack of structure was more of an issue this time around than any . . .
over enthusiasm from attendees, so setting out a topic and agenda for
the meeting, making sure people stay on topic, and keep the chatter to
#maemo (or #maemo-meeting-chatter or whatever) will go a long way
towards keeping things organized without resorting to fun-killing
moderation. ;)_______________________________________________
