Board public IRC meetings

Public IRC Board Meetings

The Fedora Project Board occasionally has public meetings held on IRC.

There will be two IRC channels available on Freenode (irc.freenode.net):

• #fedora-board-public -- this channel can be joined and used by all community members like any public channel. There will be a moderator present to take 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. Here the Board members will cover an agenda and then take Q&A.

Because we hope for a large turnout, 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.
