This came up in today's project planning meeting. How do folks feel about moving the project planning and future board meetings to IRC?
The advantage of IRC meetings are that the full meeting minutes can be posted in a public archive. It's significantly easier for many folks to participate in IRC meetings.
I think the only downside would be if anyone involved is uncomfortable with using IRC. Using IRC for regular meetings certainly doesn't preclude having occasional phone calls if necessary.

Since we've had this discussion over the past week, I've added it to today's sync call agenda. It seems like we have a number of people in favor of the idea, but I figured it's probably best to continue with the call for this week, and come to a solid, announced conclusion/decision, before shifting to IRC (if in fact that is what's agreed-upon.) We should also double check to make sure everyone on the call is familiar with IRC, and get a bot in #ovirt (or #ovirt-meeting) if necessary. (Though, IMO, it's helpful to have a bot in channel, regardless - it's nice to be able to capture spontaneous discussions with meetbot.) -Robyn
