This thread sucks in a very special way.  Instead of *doing* QA it
is discussed about not very important meeting techniques.

Torsten, if you want to recommend it, please decide a proper
time where people can join and lurk around at that time on
that server in that channel.  If people feel confident they
will join.

Personally I'm not a friend of the famous bug squashing parties
on IRC since I cannot fix problems when I need to answer thousand
questions on IRC.  I would appreciate if we would work on things
instead of discussing IRC meetings.

Conclusion:

  a) Torsten will find a time and open #debian-qa

  b) People work on fixing bugs

  c) Poeple try to address longstanding bugs and release critical
     bugs
