Revision as of 13:17, 11 December 2010

Naming policy

All regional RMNs' should be named after following rule:

• 'MeeGo Network <Region>'. For example: MeeGo Network Finland

Domain names

Domain names should be as follows:

• http://meegonetwork.CC (where CC is your country code).
• For example: http://meegonetwork.fi

If the local MeeGo networks have a need for domain, it should be as a sub-domain:

• Location MeeGo Network -> http://location.meegonetwork.CC where 'location' is your city/town/area and 'CC' your country code.
• For example: 'Tampere Meego Network' -> http://tampere.meegonetwork.fi

Also Summits can use the same domain:

• Use sub-domain: http://summit.meegonetwork.CC where 'CC' is your country code.
• For example 'MeeGo Summit FI' is: http://summit.meegonetwork.fi

IRC channels

IRC channel for the RMN should be named according to the following logic:

• '#meego-CC' (where CC is your country code).
• For example: MeeGo Network Finland -> #meego-fi

Setting up your RMN resources

One of the most critical tasks in running RMN successfully is to ensure it is easy for people to (a) get involved and (b) communicate with each other. This requires a number of resources.

Every RMN should have the following resources set up:

Mailing List about possibilities to set up mailing lists...

IRC channel

IRC is a great way for the team to have real-time discussions about the group. You should register a channel on the freenode IRC network:

• Register your nickname on freenode
• Create the channel (named according to the channel naming guidelines)
• Please ensure that channels coordination is made as easy as possible.
