My only wish (as someone working on a non-official project) would be that we could use meeting bot the same way we would in a meeting channel. If it requires standing up additional instances of the meeting bot, I think it's fair for the companies sponsoring those projects to help openstack-infra with that, and I'd be willing to throw my own time in there for that too if necessary. > Options: > - Once the change is in place, we could also limit official meeting room > usage to official projects (since non-official projects can hold a > meeting in their own room and still have it mentioned on the agenda) > - If we remove artificial scarcity, we could discontinue the > #openstack-meeting-cp channel (which was created to facilitate the > scheduling of cross-project temporary meetings) and just tell > cross-project initiatives to use the regular channels I think there's still value in #openstack-meeting-cp, but I don't feel strongly enough to argue against its removal. -- Ian Cordasco __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
