IRC Meetings

The purpose of this meeting is to discuss topics in real time with many of the

Symfony2 devs.

Anyone may propose topics on the `symfony-dev`_ mailing-list until 24 hours

before the meeting, ideally including well prepared relevant information via

some URL. 24 hours before the meeting a link to a `doodle`_ will be posted

including a list of all proposed topics. Anyone can vote on the topics until

the beginning of the meeting to define the order in the agenda. Each topic

will be timeboxed to 15mins and the meeting lasts one hour, leaving enough

time for at least 4 topics.

.. caution::

Note that its not the expected goal of them meeting to find final

solutions, but more to ensure that there is a common understanding of the

issue at hand and move the discussion forward in ways which are hard to

achieve with less real time communication tools.

Meetings will happen each Thursday at 17:00 CET (+01:00) on the #symfony-dev

channel on the Freenode IRC server.

The IRC `logs`_ will later be published on the trac wiki, which will include a

short summary for each of the topics. Tickets will be created for any tasks or

issues identified during the meeting and referenced in the summary.

Some simple guidelines and pointers for participation:

* It's possible to change votes until the beginning of the meeting by clicking

on "Edit an entry";

* The doodle will be closed for voting at the beginning of the meeting;

* Agenda is defined by which topics got the most votes in the doodle, or

whichever was proposed first in case of a tie;

* At the beginning of the meeting one person will identify him/herself as the

moderator;

* The moderator is essentially responsible for ensuring the 15min timebox and

ensuring that tasks are clearly identified;

* Usually the moderator will also handle writing the summary and creating trac

tickets unless someone else steps up;

* Anyone can join and is explicitly invited to participate;

* Ideally one should familiarize oneself with the proposed topic before the

meeting;

* When starting on a new topic the proposer is invited to start things off

with a few words;

* Anyone can then comment as they see fit;

* Depending on how many people participate one should potentially retrain

oneself from pushing a specific argument too hard;

* Remember the IRC `logs`_ will be published later on, so people have the

chance to review comments later on once more;

* People are encouraged to raise their hand to take on tasks defined during

the meeting.
