IRC in the MeeGo project

We use IRC for a variety of real-time conversations:

  • Meetings
  • Discussion
  • Troubleshooting
  • Collaboration
  • Chatting with other contributors

General Guidelines

  • Review our Community communication document: please review before you start participating for the first time.
  • Pick the right channel: if you aren't sure, you should start in our main #meego channel.
  • Keep it clean: many of us participate from work, so keep the language clean.
  • Don't be a jerk: treat people with respect and consideration.
  • Be helpful: be patient with new people and be willing to jump in to answer questions.
  • Stay calm: the written word is always subject to interpretation, so give people the benefit of the doubt and try not to let emotions get out of control.
  • More information: this IRC primer for new users and the general IRC guidelines from freenode are also useful resources.

IRC Meeting Guidelines

  • Meetings should occur in #meego-meeting
  • Keep minutes / logs of your meeting by using the MeeGo Meetbot.
  • Always add meetings to the MeeGo-Meeting IRC Schedule to schedule #meego-meeting and make sure that people can find your meeting.
  • Announce the meeting on the most relevant mailing list or forum at least 24 hours in advance.
  • Announce upcoming meetings on #meego and other required channels prior to starting.
  • Follow-up the announcements after the meeting has occurred to post minutes and allow collection of later thoughts and feedback.
  • Use a wiki page to organize your agendas and post links to past minutes (example).
  • For meeting coordinators, plan your topics carefully into short sentences and give plenty of time for responses.
  • If you are not used to IRC, familiarise yourself first, the channels can become overwhelming for new users.
  • Smile and have fun! :)

New MeeGo Channels

  • Check existing channels first: Make sure that you really need a new channel and aren't overlapping with other channels.
  • Contact Dawn Foster: It would be really nice if you consulted with Dawn before creating a new channel.
  • Set founder flags: Give founder access to the following IRC nicks: DawnFoster and Stskeeps.
  • List your channel: Add your channel to the Community communication document.
