Reminder that an open community meeting is proposed for this Saturday, Feb. 5. on IRC: freednode#wikimedia
Please add your agenda items! http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_meetings
based on feedback I'd like to move the time down to 1800-1900 UTC (that's 10 am PST).
Let me know if you can help moderate. Looking forward to it, Phoebe

Hi all,
Back in September we had an open community IRC meeting, where we introduced the new Trustees and talked about various issues. It was pretty successful and we discussed afterwards making such "community meetings" a regular event.
I'd like to revive this idea :) I've made a proposal for having community meetings on the first Saturday of the month: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_meetings
Which would make the first upcoming meeting on February 5.
I proposed 17:00UTC as a time, but please discuss good days/times on the talk page if you are interested in attending; we'll need to rotate times.
I envision this as not really a Q&A session like the staff office hours, but rather as a chance for community members to get together and talk about important issues in a structured way. To that end, please add your proposed agenda items to the wiki. It would also be great to have some volunteers to take notes/moderate.
Of course this is just an experiment -- but there seemed to be a lot of interest in having such meetings, so I'd like to try it out. Let me know what you think and if you'd be interested.
best, Phoebe

And it's 3am JST ... the open community is intended to or doesn't mind kicking out Asia and Oceania? I'm really worried to the increase of meetings in these hours and on contrary to abolishment of time rotated series of meetings.

No matter what time you're dealing with you're going to have bad timing somewhere. Move it forward a few hours, and you lose Europe. Move it backwards and you lose the WMF and west coast US (and not likely to get much east coast involvement that early).

Hey Naoko! We will absolutely rotate to a good Asia time -- please propose a good possibility on the talk pages. I have no intention whatsoever to kick out oceania and asia. I must admit to a little bit of selfishness this week -- since I called this meeting and led it, I wanted a time that worked well for California :) but that will not always be the case. (I suspect the inconvenience of staff office hours is similarly due to wanting them to be during working times for here).
