There is lots of hygiene stuff to do in the repo :)  I'll see what I can come up
with but at the very least it's going to require a bunch of people to +1 a
review to drop their meeting ;P

So there are 17 slots that are full so I'll look at them.  If a slot hasn't
been used this month I'll open a review to drop them (with appropriate CC's)

I'll go through the other slots later as they're not blocking anything right
now.

Yeah and mine ;P

I wanted to go the other way as it's slightly less impactful. Most people grok
that '-alt' == '-2'.  if we redirect from 2 -> alt it's only a few people
that transparently get redirected.

If we do it the other way around everyone already in -alt needs to move.

That's arguing implementation, rather than objecting so I'll start the process
of registering #openstack-meeting-2 which requires people to:
  a) not use it ; and
  b) everyone in there to leave.

Registering only takes 30seconds, once people leave (and I'm awake).

In order to be pro-active I'll register #openstack-meeting-5 so when we *do*
need it the startup costs are smaller.

The first thing I'll do after registering the channels is give @infra access.

Yours Tony.
