Last week, the delegates of the newly elected sixth Council of Stellar Management wrote a letter outlining their plan to focus on open communication with EVE Online players. To kick things off, they held their first of many "Fireside Chats" over the weekend, and they've made the audio available for download.

According to Delegate Rob "Draco Llasa" Weatherly, nearly 450 people joined the voice chat and 200 people interacted in the CSM public chat channel. At least one CCP developer participated in the chat as well.

A full transcript of the two-hour Fireside Chat isn't available, but will likely be posted at a later date. Until then, you can look over the timestamped notes after the jump.
