Re: [RFC] Weekly Kernel Team IRC Meeting Time & Format Change

Everyone,

Since I had no objections to this proposal we will change the kernel
team meeting times to:

Tuesdays @ 1500 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting.

This upcoming Tuesday (Oct 14th 2008) will be the first to use the new
time and format.

Thanks
