I noticed this in the news on zopezen.org ... looks like it was posted to zope-annce but not the main zope list, so it's possible that many people haven't seen it:
From Rob Page's announcement at http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope-announce/2003-December/001310.html
"""In addition, we are going to experiment with a few mechanisms at improving the regularity, predictability and quality of communication we have with the Zope community. The first such experiment will be an IRC session as follows: - Tuesday, Dec 16, 2003, 11a-12p (US/EST GMT-5) on irc.zope.com in #zope-community Zope reps on the IRC session will include Rob Page, Jim Fulton, Brian Lloyd, Jens Vagelpohl and Shane Hathaway. We hope you can join us! Agenda for Dec 16, 2003 IRC Session ------------------------------------ 15 mins: Zope.org operations 15 mins: Trademark management 15 mins: Zope 2.x issues 15 mins: Zope 3 issues """ There is other interesting stuff in Rob's original message, about the new zope.org community involvement process and about the recent trademark issues. I strongly recommend a careful reading of all of the material linked from Rob's message before joining the IRC session, because the first half hour will be about those topics. Big IRC meetings can get out of hand, let's keep this one on-topic and productive! -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look! Up in the sky! It's THE AMAZING BALEFUL RHINOCEROUS BALLBOY!
