Proposal for an IRC Session

Dear Publicity and Press Team members,
I'm writing you because I'd like to start a new round of
Debian IRC Sessions: similarly to last year [1] during these
sessions, people from different Debian teams will let the
attendees take a closer look at their work and at how it is 
organized.
For this year, I've run a poll to ask Debian users and 
enthusiasts about their preferences: as you can see in
the results [2] it seems that people badly want to know
about your team! :D

So, I'd like to invite you to join an IRC Session: the 
idea is to start with the new round of sessions the next 
week and have one session per week. 
Sessions will be held on #debian-meeting channel on 
irc.oftc.org.
Time and dates are quite flexible but it would be great if 
they could fit as many timezones as possible.
With regards to the type of session, there are no strict 
requirements: you can have a simple Q&A session,
a more practical one (for example, last year the Perl Team
showed how to package Perl modules), or just a plain talk
about your work. 
For more information you can visit the debian-meeting wiki 
page [3].

Cheers,
Francesca

Try irc.oftc.net, irc.oftc.org has nothing to do with OFTC as in "The
Open and Free Technology Community" :)

Oh! Thank you very much for contacting us, your work with the Debian IRC
sessions is really appreciated!
And we will be glad to participate!

/me stops being stupid (as she's feeling also schizophrenic)

So, my dear fellow publicity-press people, I obviously think that having
an IRC session for our team(s) would be useful.
Not only we could promote a little our work but we could also take
advantage of it to show our workflow to people interested in work with us.
And, honestly, a little bit of (wo)manpower it would be greatly
appreciated (at least IMO).

The problem is: I'll be the host of the session, so I cannot be also the
guest (actually I could, but I'd prefer to have someone else with me as
