There are a few of reasons to 'register' the meeting.

1) so people know where to be when

 * As this is an adhoc meeting I don't think 1 applies as you'll have some
   other way of ensuring that the people you need are on IRC.

2) To ensure that there is a conflict free venue available.

 * If you want the logging and such I think you can use a free meetiung room.
   You can use[1] to check if a room is free.  Note if 2 or more groups use
   this method then it fails and you shoudl fallback to booking a room.

3) For logging and archiving of the discussions and outcomes.

 * If you're in one of the std. openstack meeting rooms then you can just use
   the std. MeetBot commands to log your meeting.

Of course if this is a becomes a regular meeting you should certainly create a
meeting.

Yours Tony.
