I think I heard of one other group using yaml2ical... But the request to
better support infrequent meetings is coming from within OpenStack at
this stage.

It might be our best bet.

That could work too, but somehow would encourage teams to only meet
every month (since that is where it will be easier to schedule a
meeting) which is not necessarily a best practice in short development
cycles like in OpenStack.

My preference would be to create a "4weekly" recurrence. The only
drawback I see is that it's not trivial to determine when the next
meeting is.

Maybe we should engage with other currently "monthly" meeting chairs and
ask them how happy they would be with a 4weekly ? Because if they don't
plan to switch to it, there is little point in pursuing that option ?
