Open Stack

Jeremy - Sorry you couldn't join. This came up in the meeting today. And not only about IRC but also Etherpads and Gerrit.

Here's the etherpad from today's discussion: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/9_2_15_WOS and action items with owners. Feel free to add your comments and name to any of the action items.
Thanks
Carol

Though it does appear that requiring the use of a telephone did indeed make it difficult/impossible for at least some people to participate. Perhaps having a conference call to explain to people how to use IRC would be a good middle ground, and faster bootstrap participants onto the mechanisms established within our community for mass communication.
