Currently EPEL is set to meet every week at Monday 1500 UTC. This is 0800 US/Pacific, 1100 US/Eastern, 1600 Western Europe time (during summer hours). It will move to being an hour later soon.
Does this time meet enough people's needs? If we move it later we will run into other meetings, but can use #fedora-meeting-2 for that.

Thats fine for me, later would be a bit better, but I can make either.
As a side note, I am not sure the 'fedora-meeting-N' channels are that usefull. The two advantages of the main meeting channel are: 1) It allows a meeting/discussion thats not interfereing with a groups primary channel, and 2) it allows people to idle in that room and watch meetings that they normally wouldn't notice or attend and find out whats going on in the rest of the project.
For 1) the epel channel is pretty quiet all the time, so meeting there shouldn't disturb anyone I don't think, and for 2) the fedora-meeting-N channels don't work unless everyone wants to idle in about 5 additional channels. ;(

I've been thinking about that exact problem. How about if we add meeting channel usage one at a time? (Paul Cc:'d as the guy who started this new channel # thing.)
We only add the usage of a channel when the initial one is filling up enough to make it hard to schedule meetings. We hold the others in reserve for the future.
Then people add just one new lurking channel at a time over a much longer period, such as the year+ it took to fill up #fedora-meeting.
The reason is the same for the initial channel. When people start going to topic specific channels, they remove the visibility while increasing the number of channels to lurk in to catch meetings.

I think that Paul started the channel # thing based on the simple fact that with the new FESCo meeting time as of the current FESCo, we were running over with the docs meeting on a fairly regular basis. I'm sure the same applies to other groups as well.
Maybe he got a little overzealous in [1-4],. but I think at least -1 is required. :)

It just seemed sane, so I added a note about usage:

Yeah, I just added four of them because that's what someone in #fedora-admin suggested. I wanted to make sure that ownership of the channel stayed in the overall Project's hands. I'm happy to add more owners and/or evaporate anything we decide we don't need.
