[Foundation-l] IRC general meetings

[phoebe ayers]

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
