I thought at one point there was discussion about having the IRC
meetings at a different time/day from the regular meetings, as well.
Since it's only scheduling that prevents me from making the meetings,
holding them on IRC at the *same*time* would not help me at all!

Short of taking time off from work, is there any way I can have an
active presence at the meetings?


I had just come up with an idea of a wiki-meeting. (Stop me if this has
been tried before) Something where the "meeting" is scheduled to open on
one day (let's say Sunday) and end on another (Saturday?), and all the
various things on the schedule for the meeting are open for discussion
for the first couple days, and then a vote on the last couple days. (If
we're going by a voting system... Heh, I don't even know if you're using
Robert's Rules (even informally) at the meetings)

Anyway, something like this would provide a fixed setting for a meeting,
while allowing people who can't be there at a given time, or in a given
place, and even allow for a little extra discussion time and
brainstorming. I think the important piece is the deadlining.

Yeah, I'm a bit curious too...
