[Ubuntu-be] Ubuntu-be re-activation / IRC meeting

[Tom Van Braeckel]

* Ok, allow me to propose an IRC meeting time, to get the IRC meeting
time ideas flowing: how about every Sunday from 19h 'til 20h ?

* I suggest drawing some attention to this meeting on the website, and
putting a Javascript-based IRC chat window on there (ideally, only
visible during the meeting). That way, we keep the threshold to
participate as low as possible.

* In general, I think it'll always be a challenge to keep this meeting
short & focused - but it's certainly doable. Some idea's:
- Keeping direction by appointing a meeting leader & a secretary.
- Allowing people to edit the agenda for the meeting on a wiki, and
sticking to that agenda while the meeting is in progress.
- The meeting leader can put the agenda-topic in the IRC channel's topic
to keep us from side tracking.
