[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Scheduling IRC Developer Meetings

[Kathy Lussier]

Thanks for posting this question Ben! If we were to continue with the
developer meetings for every other Tuesday, the next meeting would be
scheduled this coming Tuesday. Since you received feedback from just one
person, should the meeting proceed as scheduled on Tuesday or should we try
berick's suggestion of a 2 p.m. meeting, possibly later in the week? 

If you're looking for agenda items in addition to the one berick proposed, I
would like suggest the 2.2 release schedule as a topic. In particular, I
liked Dan's suggestion in http://markmail.org/message/rp6okrsvo56apaei to
adopt a schedule like the one used for Fedora and would be interested in
seeing further discussion on that.

Thanks!
Kathy
