As Mike points out, we only have 3 meetings in the course of a week. We do get a little bit of interruption during the meeting, but it's not too bad. Also, we're showing all the IRC activity of the community in one location, so we increase visibility to contributors and interested people= =2E Generally, I prefer to create new channels when it's extremely clear it's needed. (I can tend to overthink this by creating too much at the start, so I've learned to pull back to the basics and grow as needed.) I don't think I see that we've reached the "extremely clear" traffic level.= - Karsten --=20 Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Analyst - Community Growth http://TheOpenSourceWay.org .^\ http://community.redhat.com @quaid (identi.ca/twitter/IRC) \v' gpg: AD0E0C41 ------enig2HTATJLCWUCGDCRGFFHJC Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" ------enig2HTATJLCWUCGDCRGFFHJC--
