Open Stack

In Nova the alternate meetings were chaired by different people. I think that was very productive and fruitful. So it is certainly something worth considering. At the end of the day all of the meetings are logged and people can go over the logs and address issues that can and may concern them. At the end of the day we are a community and it would be nice to know that the community is open to accommodating people irrespective of where and how they live (yeah we are all envious of the IRC surfer ‘checkyouinthetubes’ who spends her/his days surfing around the world). If we do decide to continue with the single meeting time then we need to understand and accept that certain people may not be able to take part. In general if there is something really important that one wants to raise and it does not get addressed on the mail list then they can make an effort to attend the meeting to raise their issues/concerns/points.

Meetings aside the core team is spread pretty nicely across the globe.

A luta continua

I don’t think it ninja merged. It had plenty of reviews, and was open during international hours. I don’t have any issue there.

I don’t like the crazy early meeting, so I set out to prove it didn’t matter:

Average attendance before rotating: 20.7 people
Average attendance on Monday afternoons (U.S. time): 20.9
Average attendance on Tuesday morning (U.S. time): 23.7

Stupid data, that’s not what I wanted to see.

I haven’t yet correlated people to which meeting time yet, but attendance was slightly up during the crazy early hated time, across the 1.25 years it was running (started 9/9/14). This is just people saying something; lurkers can just read the logs.

Data is from eavesdrop meeting logs, if anyone else wants to crunch it.

Since it's ridiculous to assume people are required to attend this meeting, one easy solution to this would be to go back to the rotating meeting and have a different chair for the Tuesday morning PST meeting. I think rotating chairs for this meeting would be a good idea for a multitude of reasons (spreads the pain, lets others have a chance at the pulpit, grooms future meeting leaders, etc.).

Thanks,
