[RFC] #fedora-india IRC sessions

[Shakthi Kannan]

Hi,

I would like to know what would be convenient times to have IRC
tutorial sessions on #fedora-india.

1. Do people prefer to learn/experiment new things in the afternoon,
or evenings during weekends?

2. Is there any way of creating polls in fedoraproject.org/wiki to get
feedback for such queries?

The sessions in #fedora-classroom (UTC) occur quite late nights (IST).

Appreciate any inputs.

Thanks!

SK

In the past, we have done it in weekends or late evenings because many 
students wanted it that way and colleges regularly block IRC.

We have a infrastructure for elections at 
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/voting but that is probably a overkill 
for simple polls.  CC'ing Fedora infrastructure list to see if we have a 
better system for this but meanwhile you can do this via fedoraforum.org 
if necessary.

True. Kevin Fenzi (CC'ed) is leading this effort. Maybe we can do it 
other timings as well?

hi,

I dont think mibbit will be blocked.. My colleges using an http proxy
hence blocking torrents, P2P etc.. but mibbits still working..

Usually not because administration isn't aware but still I wouldn't want 
to advocate against the obvious intend of management in these colleges. 
Better to tell them, why IRC is being used and get the policies changed.

I was hoping that I could avoid creating another account :) Thanks for
your replies.

Is this software free and open source? Seems to be a proprietary albeit 
gratis hosted service.  We try not to rely on external infrastructure 
for these tasks.
