Yes, that's actually the main reason why we try to stick with meeting
channels and add more of them only when congestion happens: to encourage
spreading the meetings, and avoiding double-booking people on a few
"best" slots.

The other benefit of sticking to meeting channels (vs. using team
channels for meetings) is that it's easier to lurk on a few channels to
get highlights during meetings, than to try to find all channels where
meetings may happen (and keep the list current).

So the trick is the balance between encouraging spreading meetings and
starting to be a pain :) Meeting slots between 14:00 and 21:00 UTC are
pretty busy from Tuesday to Thursday. So it might indeed be the time to
add a new meeting room.

#openstack-meeting-alt2 ? or is it also time to find a naming scheme for
our meeting rooms ?
