Fedora News IRC meeting?

[Pascal Calarco]

Hi Fedora News team --

So far we have the following confirmed for an IRC meeting on Friday, 
January 30 at 13:00-14:00 UTC:

Oisin Feeley
Runa Bhattacharjee
Max Spevack
Adam Batkin
Pascal Calarco

Thank you all very much for responding!  I think this is enough for us 
to go forward.  If we have not heard from you yet, please do try to send 
a quick e-mail to the list and acknowledge that you can or can't make 
it, and if you have other items that should be considered to be discussed.

I've updated the Fedora meeting master page 
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Meeting_channel), and created a 
NewsProject meetings and minutes 
page.(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/NewsProject/Meetings), linked from 
the main News page.

Dale, I think you are the sole beat writer from western North America. 
Obviously, this time is too early for you.  I'd like to propose that 
Oisin and I have a separate chat with you so you have a chance to weigh 
in on the agenda issues.  For future meetings, we could also see if the 
time could be moved forward, and we can see who is available then.

For those beats that are dormant, if those writers could send a quick 
update as to whether they would like to continue with their beat or not, 
that would be great.  If we don't hear from you, we will be reassigning 
the beat to another volunteer who can devote time to it.

Thanks everyone!
