Open Stack

Earlier there was a thread on nova IRC meetings, which don't currently 
exist (they don't exist for some other core projects either). Anyone 
that's been watching the blueprint list for nova has also probably 
noticed that at the rate it's shrinking, there is going to be a lot of 
folsom blueprints that don't make it.

I think it would be really good to get a weekly nova IRC meeting spun 
up, run by the nova PTL, much like some of the newer openstack projects 
have.

It would be a place for people working on blueprints and bugs to check 
in (letting others no where they could use help), and give the PTL a 
chance to bring up his/her hottest issues they would like worked. It 
might also be a good place to get nova core people aware of reviews that 
are languishing (I think the current model of "harass core reviewers 
until they break down and take time to look at your patch" isn't really 
scalable. :) )  And it would give new folks a chance to learn the 
culture of the team, and get them integrated.

This obviously needs buy in by the PTL and enough core folks to make 
there be critical mass, so it's just a suggestion. But I think it would 
serve us well.
