Lucas, Thanks for bringing this up (both in Paris and here). <span style="line-height:1.5">I'm strongly in favor of these changes as well. We discussed this during the meeting today [1], to which I offer the following summary:</span><div><br></div><div style="line-height:19.7999992370605px"><span style="line-height:1.5">- move the status reporting to the etherpad [2]</span><br></div><div>-- take one (1) minute at the start of the meeting for folks to look at the 'pad and raise any concerns. discuss concerns but cap at ten (10) minutes</div><div>-- at the end of the meeting, an email will be sent out containing the status report from the 'pad, plus discussion notes (if needed)</div><div><div style="line-height:19.7999992370605px">- meeting agenda to be frozen two (2) days before the meeting. This also gives time for others to review/research the topic ahead of time. <span style="line-height:19.7999992370605px">Anyone who has something on the planned agenda should prepare some notes to introduce the topic (or type fast enough that we don't notice that you didn't prepare) so we aren't all waiting on IRC.</span></div></div><div style="line-height:19.7999992370605px"><br></div><div style="line-height:19.7999992370605px">I'll update the meeting wiki accordingly.</div><div style="line-height:19.7999992370605px"><br></div><div style="line-height:19.7999992370605px">-Deva</div><div style="line-height:19.7999992370605px"><br></div><div><span style="line-height:1.5">[1] <a href="http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/ironic/2014/ironic.2014-11-17-19.00.log.html">http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/ironic/2014/ironic.2014-11-17-19.00.log.html</a></span><br></div><div><div style="line-height:19.7999992370605px">[2] <a href="https://etherpad.openstack.org/IronicWhiteBoard">https://etherpad.openstack.org/IronicWhiteBoard</a></div></div><div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu Nov 13 2014 at 8:58:18 AM Chris K <<a href="mailto:nobodycam@gmail.com">nobodycam@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">+1 <div>I think the best use of our time is to discuss <span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">new features and functions that may have a api or functional impact for ironic or projects that depend on ironic.</span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Chris Krelle</span></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Nov 13, 2014 at 8:22 AM, Ghe Rivero <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ghe@debian.org" target="_blank">ghe@debian.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr">I agree that a lot of time is missed with the announcement and status reports, but mostly because irc is a slow bandwidth communication channel (like waiting several minutes for a 3 lines announcement to be written)</p>

I agree with Lucas. Sounds like a good idea. I guess if we could spare<br>
more time for discussing new features and requirements rather than<br>
asking for status, that would be helpful for everyone.<br>
