IRC for the 10/12 WSBPEL Conf Call

["John Evdemon" <John.Evdemon@microsoft.com>]

Lets try this again -- 

We won't be using the OASIS IRC server for tomorrow's call due to
connectivity issues.  

We will try to use the web-based IRC interface discussed below - this
should resolve the connectivity problems people were having.  We won't
be using an OASIS IRC server.  Since the OASIS IRC doesn't constitute
official records for the TC this shouldn't be a problem.

Here is the link: http://soaphub.homeip.net:8080/conf/room/wsbpel

Thanks to Charlton for pointing out this resource and Doug Davis for
making it available!

John

> 	OASIS has expressed the purpose and usage of irc in the
> following manner:
> 
> 	*	This server is available as a convenient, transient
> side-channel for real-time meeting coordination and similar 
> intermittent
> unofficial communications.   It is NOT access-limited, and does NOT
> constitute official records of the TC, nor a channel for contributions
> of work.  Contents of the IRC channels are NOT necessarily spooled or
> archived to the official TC records, during this beta phase.  Any
> official work of the TC must be placed elsewhere:  reflected 
> in e-mail,
> meeting minutes, documents uploaded to the TC's repository or other
> official channels. 
> 	*	During its initial beta use, we suggest that TCs use a
> single local channel (preface = "&") and a name string identical to
> their TC short name (e.g. "&wsbpel"). 
> 	*	Anyone can create a channel, if it is not already
> created, simply by joining the channel.  The first person to 
> create the
> channel will be the channel's operator.  
> 	*	OASIS suggests that a TC chair or designee serves as the
> channel operator.
> 
> 	There are some additional (unsupported) tools we could use to
> capture an irc chat session and format it into the minutes.

> 	If you think this would be useful during a conference call
