I agree that meetings can be a huge time suck. In the DOM team, which is pretty widely dispersed, we use the Mozilla Status Board ( http://benjamin.smedbergs.us/weekly-updates.fcgi/ ) to post weekly snippets. Many people don't participate (it looks like only 6 of us have posted at all this month), but it provides a way to share what we are up to in a way that is open and asynchronous. Those of us who do post on it post pretty much every week. Personally, I take little notes on what I do over the course of the week, for discussing during my 1-1, and either shortly before or shortly after my 1-1 I post a sanitized version of those notes as my status update, so it doesn't take much additional work for me. I've set up the Status Board to send me a weekly reminder to post the day after my 1-1, to avoid forgetting, while avoiding the annoying notice unless I actually need it.
