Open Stack

Hi all,

Following on from the inaugural scientific-wg, Stig and I as co-chairs
need to organise a regular meeting schedule going forward. Anita
provided some useful advice/pointers here - thanks!

I understand the infra team has various useful processes setup around
IRC meetings, however I (and others) are concerned that IRC will be a
barrier to entry for some folks wishing to participate in this forum -
our own community cloud has experienced this, with Slack very quickly
and popularly replacing IRC (note I'm not particularly advocating
Slack itself here, there are a number of options).

Before we consider this further ourselves I'm wondering if this has
already been discussed or is being considered by the core
user-committee? I imagine this is something that will need to be
addressed soon as the user-committee births new (not-as-technical)
community working groups.
