Agreed. As much as I'd like to avoid double-booking, I think it's worse
to force meeting into weird time slots just because the room happens to
be already booked by some completely different meeting.

I'd suggest "#openstack-meetings-alt" as a name to make it clear that
there is a primary meeting room and an alternate one for when the forst
one happens to be booked.

What about giving priority to core projects to #openstack-meetings, to
naturally avoid double-booking people that want to follow multiple core
projects ?
