irc board meetings?

[Luis Villa <luis tieguy org>]

Some months ago, when we were brining Stormy on board, she asked the
board about how she could be more transparent and involved in the
community, and IRC came up in that context.

One thing I said at the time, which may be worth revisiting if there
are general concerns about board transparency, is that maybe maybe we
should have Fedora-style public board
IRC meetings? They (sort of) describe what they do at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Board/IRC ; as I understand it every
other board meeting is held in public-but-moderated IRC; transcripts
are cleaned up and made available later.

I'm particularly interested to hear from folks who are members of both
communities- are these useful/valuable over there? Anything you'd
change?

Thinking out loud-
Luis
