Board public IRC meetings

The Fedora Project Board holds at least monthly public meetings on IRC.

There are two IRC channels available on Freenode (irc.freenode.net). To participate, join both of these channels:

• #fedora-board-questions -- this channel can be joined and used by all community members like any public channel. There will be a moderator present to review questions, and the Board members can watch this channel as well.

• #fedora-board-meeting -- this channel can be joined and viewed by the public but only Board members can communicate on it by default. Here the Board members will cover an agenda and then take Q&A. Community members will be "voiced" in the channel to ask questions and discuss with the Board in an orderly fashion.

This setup promotes an orderly process when the Board takes questions or open issues. The length of the Q&A will depend on availability of the Board members and interest from the community.

We look forward to seeing community members at the meeting. We also hope you will enjoy having a look at some of the Board's work, and encourage you to ask questions.
