                           <div class="entry-body">
                              <p>A while ago Dan Connolly told us something along these lines: "W3C Chairs are doing very hard work. I would like a t-shirt to thank them." Daniel Glazman  asked us often if we could have cool W3C gears. So the Communication Team started to think about what we could do, exploring ideas. TPAC seemed to be a good opportunity to materialize this. We designed a special t-shirt for the chairs.  </p>

<p>Meet Zakim, RRSAgent and Trackbot, 3 home made bots which are essential to W3C Working Group life and are the <strong>chairs angels</strong>. </p>

<ul>
<li>Zakim, the phone, is the bot connecting people on phone and controlling the agenda of meetings.</li>
<li>RRSAgent, the tape recorder,  is recording the IRC log and help to create minutes of meetings.</li>
<li>Trackbot, the toolbox, is the bot for creating and tracking issues and action items during meetings.</li>
</ul>

<p>Hi Riordan,</p>

<p>We are likely to set up a shop to sell t's and so forth. Unfortunately, have not done so yet.
I expect <em>something</em> this year (but it's only low priority right now). Thanks for asking, and stay tuned.</p>
