In the interest of transparency, members of The Autscape Organisation may observe our board meetings, which are held on-line by IRC (Internet Relay Chat). See the calendar for the dates and times.
If you would like to observe a meeting, please first verify whether you're currently a member of the organisation by logging in to your membership page. Then please email secretary@autscape.org with your AUTxxx reference number (which you'll see on that page) and stating your intent to observe the meeting.
If you're not a member or have not let us known in advance of your intent to obseve the meeting, you may be asked to leave the channel.
Upcoming board meetings
Current meeting schedule is the 4th Saturday of the month at 3pm (UK time), barring exceptions. Please see the calendar for current information.
How to observe the meeting
The simplest way is to use irccloud.com. Here are connection instructions:
- Go to www.irccloud.com.
- If you already have an account there, log in and skip to step 6.
- Under "Sign up for a free account", type your name, your email address, and a password (make it hard to guess). Click on "Sign up". Save your password so you can log in later.
- You will get an email with a verification link. Click on that link in your email to verify your email address. It will not work if you don't do this.
- Go back to www.irccloud.com.
- Enter hostname:
irc-starlink-irc.org(check for typos). Enter your first name/nickname. Under "Channels to join", enter the channel name:#autscape. Click on "Join network". - After connecting, click on the #autscape channel name at the right. You can now talk in the channel.
If you use your own IRC programme, use these settings:
| Server: | irc.starlink-irc.org |
|---|---|
| Channel: | #autscape |
Note: While the meeting is in session, the channel is moderated and only board members will be able to talk. But observers can talk before and after the session, and during the break.
Autscape thanks the StarLink-IRC chat network for graciously hosting the #autscape channel.
