[Foundation-l] IRC general meetings

[phoebe ayers]

Hi all! We have not had an open IRC meeting in a while... but next
Saturday, June 4 is the first Saturday in June, and it would be good
to have a revival! I've suggested meeting at 18:00 UTC.

Sign up, discuss topics and meeting times on Meta:

best,
