I just read Fathi's email about the new bots. I didn't want to hijack the existing thread, but I have been considering setting up a new official Linaro irc channel #linaro-multimedia with the meeting bot, etc.
As per discussions with Ilias, I would also like to set up a new service, an IRC proxy (bip or ?) for all the multimedia team members. A stored scrollback log might fix timezone problems we have. Would this proxy be something that we could host on a Linaro server?
I am fully aware that we are trying to prevent "walled-gardens", but I believe we have a very valid case why we need an irc channel specific to multimedia. We have tried maillists and they have not worked. We would use this channel for technical discussions across timezones, a quick access to a multithreaded store and forward conversation with a log. We would also be able to use this channel for meetings when the main linaro-meeting channel was already being used, hence the need for the meeting bot. We would still use the #linaro channel whenever possible.
These are all exploratory ideas at this point. I copied the -dev list so I could get some feedback - Comments? Suggestions?

Here's the list of existing/active Linaro channels: #linaro #linaro-android #linaro-armhf #linaro-kernel #linaro-mentors #linaro-meeting

Anmar is going to set up bip.linaro.org soon. The IRC proxy service for Linaro members will be available.
Cheers,

Hi,
I'll go ahead and setup the channel for you.
We have a bunch of side channels today (more than what Fathi mentioned). I'm a little worried about activity not happening on #Linaro but that channel can get quite busy.
