In the Boston Summit, during the last forum session, we talked about using #openstack-tc channel for socialization as opposed to the current channel (#openstack-dev) as we may end up overloading that channel and a separate channel is easier to keep an eye on. We should also use this channel for the office hours. Change-Id: I9430273aac72441dd843bc9f9178f4a217685f82

IRC Channel Policies
Projects associated with OpenStack are encouraged to use IRC channels
for communication. The #openstack
channel is available for
discussion of any OpenStack related topic, and
#openstack-dev
likewise for development topics.
Many projects also have their own channels, though this is not
required. The #openstack-tc
channel is used by members of
the Technical Committee for discussions related to OpenStack governance
and everyone in the community is welcome to join and participate in the
conversations or when they have a question or a concern.
As a community we strive for open communication that accommodates many schedules, styles, cultures, and preferences. We maintain IRC channels for real-time communication as a primary use-case. But, since asynchronous communication is also necessary considering our community lives around the globe, we want logs of that communication with expectations that all our IRC channels are open to everyone.
All OpenStack related channels shall be logged and made publicly accessible and attempts to notify channel users of that fact shall be undertaken.
