When setting up the upcoming elections, based on participant requests, I announced we would have some IRC Town Halls, for each of the groups being elected, between Thursday December 4 and Saturday December 6.
I'd like to propose each group have at least one, and if the group so wishes, two, such town halls. If two, schedule them at somewhat opposite times of day to allow greatest community participation in at least one.
Schedule: non-overlapping, first-come-first-serve by the groups. I've put up a placeholder schedule for the Board town halls, subject to revision based on availability of the nominees.
Committee chairs: please discuss with your nominees the best times they are available, and schedule on the wiki page [1] accordingly.
Moderators: consider this a call for moderators. If you would like to moderate one or more sessions, please contact me directly. Moderators will take questions from the -public IRC channel, ask them in the -townhall channel, and try to keep the conversations on topic.
I've set up two IRC rooms on FreeNode: #fedora-townhall - moderator and those running for election may speak, anyone else can read.
#fedora-townhall-public - anyone can speak. Questions asked here may be presented by the moderator in #fedora-townhall.
Comments?
(all current nominees have been bcc'd)
Thanks, Matt

We still need moderators for two town hall sessions:

Friday 02:00 UTC Fedora Project Board 9pm Eastern Thursday night
Saturday 17:00 UTC FAMSCo Noon Eastern Saturday
I would appreciate volunteers, but will draft people if necessary. :-)
Thanks, Matt
