As many of you know, Wikimedia has embarked on an ambitious strategic planning process. The goal is to come up with a five-year strategic plan for the Wikimedia movement.
Obviously, tech plays a critical role in all of this. We're in the process of taking a deeper dive into tech-related issues, and as part of that, we want to hold regular, logged discussions on IRC. Our first session will be on Monday, November 2 at 21:00 UTC (8am EDT; 1pm PST; 10pm CET). We'll be talking on #wikimedia-strategy on freenode.
Hope that many of you will be there. I'd also encourage you to participate on the wiki at:
http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Task_force/Technology_infrastructure,_int...
and
http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Emerging_strategic_priorities/ESP_5_...
Let me know if you have questions. Thanks!

I don't think the American times are correct.

21:00 UTC is indeed 10pm CET and 1pm PST, but it's 4pm EST (note that EDT is Eastern Daylight Time).

Sorry about the confusion. I believe Australia uses the EDT convention, but I may be mistaken. U.S. is actually on Eastern Standard Time (EST) right now.
What I meant was 8am Sydney time. :-)

Yeah, it's confusing. The term AEST or AEDT is less ambiguous: http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbreviations/timezones/au/est.html
