It really makes the job much more easier and I think it's important thing to achieve transparency. It works in real life usage. Just a few notes after I used it yesterday (for IRC meetings). 3. Create a new page with a name following this format: Meeting:Board_meeting_YYYY-MM-DD. I think this should be done at least few days before the particular meeting (and best to prepare it for next meeting when doing secretary stuff). The reason is - agenda. 5. #startmeeting Fedora Board Meeting with link in the title, #meetingname fedora-board would be better (yersterday Toshio and Jared preferred it) What I miss is roll call and call for agenda (the missing one from wiki, latest issues). It makes it easier to track people and topics. Otherwise I like it, nice job! (Not going to edit it even it's wiki - but your user space - but I can do it if we agree on) Jaroslav > > Thanks, > ~m > > [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Board_public_IRC_meetings > > > _______________________________________________ > advisory-board mailing list > advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board -- Jaroslav ÅeznÃk <jreznik@xxxxxxxxxx> Software Engineer - Base Operating Systems Brno Office: +420 532 294 275 Mobile: +420 602 797 774 Red Hat, Inc. http://cz.redhat.com/ _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
