Meeting Format

To make this meeting efficient for everyone (and hopefully reduce confusion), would appreciate it if everyone tried to follow these conventions.

• At start of meeting, please wave or say hi so we know you're present and paying attention.

• Once the topic, becomes Question and Answer Session,

  • When you have a new question to ask, or thread of conversation to start off, please raise your hand "o/"
  • If your just asking a follow up question/commenting on the current open question - just type.
  • When possible, please target your questions to specific individuals by using their nick. Others should feel free to comment if they have information to add to the discussion.
  • When you've finished your comments on the current question/discussion topic, please use the convention ".." so we know you're done, and we can move on to the next queue'd up question (as indicated by a 'o/').

I'll try to call on folks in the order I see "o/"s showing up after the Q&C session starts.

Once there are no more "o/"'s in the queue, we'll end the meeting, there won't be an any other business topic, etc.

Suggestions on improving the above conventions are most welcome.
