[openstack-dev] [OpenStack-Infra] [third-party]Time for Additional Meeting for third-party

In my opinion, further discussion is needed. The proposal on the table is
to have 2 weekly meetings, one at the existing time of 1800UTC on Monday
and, also in the same week, to have another meeting at 0800 UTC on Tuesday.

Here are some of the problems that I see with this approach:

1. Meeting content: Having 2 meetings per week is more than is needed at
this stage of the working group. There just isn't enough meeting content to
justify having two meetings every week.

2. Decisions: Any decision made at one meeting will potentially be undone
at the next, or at least not fully explained. It will be difficult to keep
consistent direction with the overall work group.

3. Meeting chair(s): Currently we do not have a commitment for a long-term
chair of this new second weekly meeting. I will not be able to attend this
new meeting at the proposed time.

4. Current meeting time: I am not aware of anyone that likes the current
time of 1800 UTC on Monday. The current time is the main reason it is hard
for EU and APAC CI Operators to attend.

My proposal was to have only 1 meeting per week at alternating times, just
as other work groups have done to solve this problem. (See examples at:
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings)  I volunteered to chair, then ask
other CI Operators to chair as the meetings evolved. The meeting times
could be any between 1300-0300 UTC. That way, one week we are good for US
and Europe, the next week for APAC.
