<div dir="ltr" >Regarding IRC there has been a different thread (subject "[User-committee] working group comms") where we've been having a conversation around the tools we can use for enabling IRC (and other communication channels.) For those that haven't been following along, I volunteered to work with the OpenStack Infra team to provide a web-based IRC client. The first step of this will be for me to write a spec, and following that we'll set up a server that will be available to interested parties. Expect this service to be offered on an experimental basis at first, as we'll need some time with real users to work out the kinks, but I expect the experience to be largely painless for working group members who are interested. The end result will be web-based access to IRC that also offers persistence similar to Slack (i.e. when you close the browser, your persona is not logged out - so next time you connect, you can "scroll back" to catch yourself up on the conversation).</div>

<div dir="ltr" >In the short term I think this is great. In the long term though, I hope to provide an even better experience that keeps folks around on IRC as well :)</div>

<div dir="ltr" >Regarding having our meetings on IRC, Andreas Jeager pointed out the communication standards we've agreed on for OpenStack projects at large (<a href="http://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/open-community.html#public-meetings-on-irc" >http://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/open-community.html#public-meetings-on-irc</a>). We can debate the applicability to working groups, but I'd argue we have a LOT of evidence that holding meetings over IRC scales well and is very inclusive. To that end I propose we hold our bi-weekly IRC meetings on one of the established IRC channels. If we intend to continue with the same schedule for now (3pm PST/10pm UTC) we can use the IRC channel #openstack-meeting. If there are no objections, I'll submit a patch to the IRC-meetings repository to officially reserve our time slot.</div>
