    What happens in QA Meetings?

    Discussions about QA take place on public mailing lists, specifically the QA mailing list.

    In the past we used to host meetings on the QA IRC channel to discuss ongoing topics and recent activities. The gatherings were open for everyone to join, following our approach to transparency and openness.

    How to prepare yourself for a QA Meeting

    • Most topics we will discuss have been raised on the QA mailing list already. Please have a look at them, to stay up to date on recent activities.
    • Join our IRC channel #libreoffice-qa IRC:// during the call, so in case we post links or texts, you are in the loop.
    • Open up our QA Etherpad to follow the agenda (feel free to fix typos in this collaborative editor!)

    What is included in the meeting minutes

    • Minutes are taken by the Secretary (who may be the same person as the Chair)
    • Minutes should include
      • The Chair (the person who lead the meeting)
      • The Secretary (the person who took minutes)
      • Who was present (Full name + any official role/title)
      • A summary of the meeting
      • TODO: (What else should we include in minutes?)
    • Minutes are inserted (above? below?) the corresponding agenda on the wiki page and a copy of them is emailed to the QA mailing list

    (from the BoD notes: "A name in brackets shows who added an item, not who is in charge")

    Cheat Sheet for Running the Meeting

    2. [C] New Action Items

    End the Meeting
