Meeting details

Regular meetings for Sugar on a Stick take place on irc.freenode.net in #sugar-meeting, every Monday at 1900 UTC.

We use IRC for our meetings. If you don't have an IRC client (yet), you can use webchat - go to http://webchat.freenode.net and connect to #sugar-meeting, or click the screenshot below. (Replace "your_name" or the random ID provided with your name or some other nick you'd like to be known by.)

How we run meetings

With as much involvement as possible at all times.

The motivation is to have as many simultaneous actively participating people in the meeting as possible - ideally, at all times in the meeting, everyone in the meeting should be doing something really cool (and hopefully related to Sugar on a Stick) - not just waiting for their turn to speak. Think of it as a virtual version of the law of two feet.

Are YOU running a SoaS meeting? Take a look at How to run a meeting for an example of how a meeting is run, with commands listed out.
