introductions

Coralie: Hello and thanks for joining
... My name is Coralie

Don: Hello my name is Don

Jeff: Hello my name is Jeff

Mailing lists

Jeff: Can you tell me the difference between the public and member lists?

Coralie: Other than the distribution in e-mail, both have archives on the Web. Only Members will access the member- list.
... Common usage is to use the member list for administative matters that do not interest the public, and/or confidential items, and use the public list for discussions, announcement of agenda etc.

IRC and minutes

[Looking at the generated minutes of this call: http://www.w3.org/2010/03/16-decision-minutes.html]

[Coralie showed how what appears in IRC is exploited by RRSagent, the IRC bot that generates HTML minutes]

Coralie: It's best if you choose decision-xg as your IRC channel.

Jeff: I read minutes and it was confusing because it looked like an IRC log

Coralie: Yes, that happens. It depends on the skills of the scribe and their attention to detail. There are conventions that make the scribing efficient. It will take a while getting used to reading minutes generated from IRC scribings, to separate what was scribed by the scribe and what was written by the users on the channel, which may or may not be useful.

Wiki

Recruiting

Jeff: I'll need help recruiting
... There are many interesting W3C Members
... Lightning talk next week

Coralie: LT will be a wonderful opportunity in terms of recruitment

Jeff: What's the mission of the W3C. Mission statement doesn't do justice to what's going on at W3C
... W3C is primarily about building up the Web.
... Taking the next step up of foundational and core standards
... Decisions occur in all domains. not domain specific.
... Decisions resonate with people. Business opportunity amongst other things for the W3C to consider

Coralie: Next week at the AC will be an excellent opportunity to meet Members.
... Don't hesitate to ask W3C staff to help make introductions.

[Coralie to send pointers for setting up telcons and Bots instructions.]
