edit: The meeting has been scheduled for 2010/12/12 04:00:00 GMT. Announcement: http://vdrift.net/article.php?story=irc-meeting-201012
I'd like to try to schedule an IRC meeting where everyone can discuss some topics related to the project, its goals, and how to best realize them. To do this we will need to find out the best date/time for the most people. I think everyone who is actively contributing to the project in any way, as well as people who are interested more from the user perspective, should have a chance to participate in the discussion.
I'd like to keep the discussion in this thread to discuss scheduling the meeting only. To discuss meeting topics, please visit this thread: http://vdrift.net/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=1462
So the best time of week to meet would probably be on a Saturday or Sunday. We need to choose a time that works for the most people possible, since we are in many different places around the globe. So please answer the following questions in your post:
What time zone are you in?
What time of day is best for you on a Saturday or Sunday?
What weekends are you free this month?
After a few days (at the latest, Friday 12/10), when this thread has some replies, I will post a news item on the site with the ideal date and time of the meeting. It would be best to give people some time to schedule the meeting, maybe a week - that means the first available dates would be 12/18-12/19. I know that is close to the holidays and might not work since some people will be traveling...people may be back at home by Sunday 12/26 so that might be a good alternate date. If nothing else, we can try early January, maybe 1/2.
I think the meeting should be 1-2 hours long. Post if you feel differently.
You can find details on VDrift IRC from the "Chat" link at the top of the page.
