Public Okopipi Project Meeting -- Date / Time

[nano]

Hello! This message is going out to the okopipi-discuss group to
announce the intent of the Steering Committee to conduct a
community-wide public meeting to discuss the project, how it should be
structured, and the best way to proceed in attempting to create a
productive environment.

This meeting will be a chance for all interested to be heard regarding
matters specifically related to project management. Issues related to
architecture, the DNIR, ideological concerns, security, or any other
topic shall be saved for a later date.

The meeting will be held via IRC on undernet, in the #okopipi channel.
Undernet does not reject Torified IRC clients, so if you would like to
retain anonymity, you can install Tor and Privoxy and set up your IRC
client to connect using a SOCKS5 proxy at 127.0.0.1:9050. You may
experience some lag, however.

The reason this message is here instead of in the announce group is
that we don't have a date or time, yet. This thread is your chance to
tell us when you would like the meeting to be held. Please limit your
discussion to the topic of date and time!

Thank you, and I'll see you in #okopipi soon!

Moved from Okopipi-dev, some of the items were not originally mine but
I condensed them all into one:

A weekend would be best for everyone because of time zones, staying up
till 2am is easyer on a weekend then a week day. Whatever time you do
it make sure you log it and post the log for anyone who wants to read
it later because they couldn't make it.

And please read the PIO material on the Wiki first, if it gets any type
of advertising of the meeting there is the possibility to be press
there, and even if there is not, things said could end up being
repeated in the media. IRC is the worst, no time to think over your
answers.

I vote for the June 10th, anytime between 8AM-12PM centeral time

[nicklinn]

It's far enough ahead that people should be able to plan for it. I am
game for that time and date.

[Rafael Azevedo]

I agree with this time

So unless I'm mistaken the start of the proposed interval, 8 AM
Central time, would be this time:

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=6&day=10&year=2006&hour=14&min=0&sec=0&p1=0

And the end of the interval, 12 PM Central, would be this time:

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=6&day=10&year=2006&hour=18&min=0&sec=0&p1=0

Would it be possible to get something together for this Saturday
instead? The sooner the better, as far as I'm concerned. Jim and I are
unable to show up Saturday morning, but the evening would be ideal.

Thoughts?

[hedwards]

I am not sure if I will be there, but that is really too early for
anybody on the west coast or HI. 6-10 here and much earlier in Hawaii
is before a lot of us are up and thinking.

The time is fine, if I am the only person in this timezone, but
otherwise it may be hard to encourage people to get up that early.

I second the no-morning thing.. Here in EST it's the middle of the
night in the morning in GMT.

my problem is I am out of town this weekend I would hate to miss this.
also, someone needs to log this so we can post it.

[Scott Mansell]

I don't like that time, it put me from 2AM to 6AM, could we possibly have something a bit later??

[nano]

I'm thinking 7-8pm CT (-0600 GMT) this Saturday, June 3rd. Thoughts?

[Arancaytar Ilyaran]

Thats 2:00-3:00 AM for me, but weird times pose no problems for me on weekends.

[Usul]

Hi,
thanks for the GMT thing

Personnaly I don't care about day or night, coffee exists ;-)
This week-end seems a bit too soon in my opinion, but it may be more
efficient with lesser people ?

And I was wondering : has someone created a "program" of the meeting ?

[Scott Mansell]

How long would we need? will there be chat logs posted?

[Unit1911]

To everyone asking about posting the log, I feel this is very important
and will make sure it happens. No Worrys.

[Ehm]

Personally I'd like to see it at maybe 10-11 PM GMT, that would be
6-7PM Eastern, 5-6PM Central and 3-4PM pacific

[Nick Linn]

I would make it at least a week from when the time is decided. People
who really want to be there can get off work typically with a weeks
notice. Though I could attend 2 days is quite a short notice for a
lot of people.

Actually that probably seems like the most logical time block as it
should be convenient for the majority of the group.

I agree! :)

[Usul]

A first meeting can be hold this week-end and another next week; in the
latter we would only have the most concerned people and that's maybe
not a bad idea ?

[nano]

Alright, apparently this Saturday is too soon, so we'll use Ehm's
suggestion and schedule it for next Saturday, June 10th at 10pm GMT,
which is 5pm ET, 4pm CT, 2pm PT. We'll plan on meeting for an hour or
so. Please post whether this will be good for you or not!

[Scott Mansell]

That's good for me, well I would have to skip church but I can live with that.

[Kevin Winter]

Fine by me.

[nicklinn]

Fine by me
