A few years ago, I had asked that IRC have a searchable archive of discussions.  I was told that there were daily logs and I could get one if I asked.  I asked, and was denied.  Until IRC commits itself to openness, it should have little to no impact on any facet of our project.  Without searchable archives, IRC is not open in the modern sense, regardless of who or how you can join it, or view it.  The archives of this mailing list are searchable.

Greetings,

The IRC Group Contacts decided last year to hold a surgery every three
months where general IRC matters could be brought up for discussion in
an environment in which IRC people able to put those into action
(which includes all the contacts themselves) were present and
involved. Regrettably it took just over a year for the second meeting
to be organised, but this pattern will not be repeated!

Therefore we invite you to visit
<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC/Group_Contacts/Meetings/August_2009>
and sign up for the meeting if you are someone interested in how IRC
runs and especially if you are responsible for one or more channels.
That page will shortly contain procedural information on how we intend
to structure the meeting to get the most out of it. For convenience, I
shall note that the meeting is at 1900Z on 3rd August 2009 in
#wikimedia-irc-meetings on freenode.

Yours,

Sean Whitton (seanw on IRC)
For the IRC Group Contacts

I have posted this message to the main public mailing lists to which I
subscribe and would appreciate circulation of the meeting's existence
to as many other languages/projects as possible as this is open to all
- but please note that the meeting will be held in English.
