Rich,

thank you for sending this out.

We, for opstools sig stopped regular irc meetings. At the end, it was
just two of us, talking repeatedly about the same; for both of us,
the main focus of work moved on; that doesn't mean, the SIG or its
content became irrelevant, it just means, there is no need of adding
another meeting to the week, when there's nothing to talk about.

With that being said, if there is something, I'm happy to organize
new meetings.

What about other SIGs? Or maybe it would be useful to have a regular
"SIG"/project sync meeting with SIG chairs reporting progress?
