Architecture weekly meetings
The Architecture Committee usually participates in weekly meetings: List: Upcoming RFC meetings in Phabricator.
 * First hour: private video conference meeting to discuss upcoming public meetings, ArchCom membership, and other items; notes are often available at Architecture committee
 * Second hour: public IRC meeting to discuss the RFCs

Past RFC and architecture meetings
In 2015 we are no longer updating this list. Instead a comment on an RFC's task in Phabricator links to the Meetbot summary of the IRC office hour, which in turn links to full logs.
 * You can view the logs for all office hour meetings that use Meetbot (i.e. someone issued meetbot's commands such as #startmeeting ) at http://tools.wmflabs.org/meetbot/wikimedia-office/
 * If nobody triggered meetbot, or its logs are lost :-(, you can view wm-bot's logs for the channel at http://bots.wmflabs.org/~wm-bot/logs/%23wikimedia-office/

Update instructions
For new RfC review meetings: === Full log ===
 * 1) open a new page at Architecture meetings/RFC review 2014-??-??
 * 2) From http://tools.wmflabs.org/meetbot/wikimedia-office/2014/ - copy the [timestamp.txt] text (the summary/highlights). Paste that, and fix the wikimarkup manually (bulletpoint-indents; links to mediawiki.org must be wikilinks for WhatLinksHere to work; etc).
 * 3) Add this underneath, and paste the [timestamp.log.txt] text in the middle. Then transclude the updates on the RfC itself.
