Hi,
Since we have more and more users with access to wikimedia labs, I think it would be great to make online conference on irc to discuss, especially with new users and people interested in getting access there how labs work, and what all is needed to do. I would be interested in getting a feedback on what is needed to set up right now. There is a bot project which is slowly moving forward so I would appreciate some feedback from people who run bots so that we know what all needs to get implemented before opening "production" for this part of labs.
Also it would be great to discuss about stuff we are about to set up, write some new proposals and comment on what we have done. Including:
* Shared SQL server * Monitoring for services - ganglia and nagios * Bots cluster * Deployment cluster
So, if there are people interested in labs, please let me know and we could make a conference in #wikimedia-labs on freenode - I propose it to happen this week, on thursday (friday is a day when most of people are leaving office or heading somewhere far from computers :)) or saturday. (But I don't know if Ryan and other important people are available for talk on saturday). Preferably in 18:00 GMT or 22:00 GMT (I guess 22:00 is a best time for people who live either in US or Europe).
Let me know what you think or if you would prefer a better date
