I coded this up before the summit but after talking to Thierry I abanonded it due to the resource utilisation concerens which I agree are valid and not something I'd considered.

It is somewhat by design. "Once-a-month" meetings basically consume as much meeting space as "weekly" ones in terms of the conflicts they generate. So not supporting it encourages people to pick biweekly options, which just consume biweekly space. I guess we could support "once-every-4-weeks" but that would likely be confusing. Better pick a biweekly spot and skip meetings liberally. > According to ICAL examples[2], it looks like monthly is basically done > as based on a day, and a week-of-month position: > [...] Right, there is nothing technical preventing to encode it in ICAL -- it just generates so much conflicts that we so far preferred to not offer the option. -- Thierry Carrez (ttx) ___ OpenStack-Infra mailing list OpenStack-Infra@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-infra
[OpenStack-Infra] Scheduling a monthly meeting
Hi all, A couple of things I'm working on at the moment would like to meet on a monthly basis. >From irc-meetings: " Options for the `frequency` are `weekly`, `biweekly-even`, and `biweekly-odd` at the moment.", and in yaml2ical/recurrence.py [1] it's pretty clear that there's no support for Monthly. So ... first question: is there some enormous trap that means adding support to the code for monthly meetings is best avoided/really hard? According to ICAL examples[2], it looks like monthly is basically done as based on a day, and a week-of-month position: eg "1st Friday of the Month" DTSTART;TZID=US-Eastern:19970905T09 RRULE:FREQ=MONTHLY;BYDAY=1FR eg "Second to last Monday of the Month": DTSTART;TZID=US-Eastern:19970922T09 RRULE:FREQ=MONTHLY;BYDAY=-2MO So, second question, if one was to implement this, what schedule entry format would be the best: A) schedule: - time: '1400' day:1st-Friday irc:openstack-meeting frequency: monthly B) schedule: - time: '1400' day:Friday irc:openstack-meeting frequency: monthly month-week: 1 C) other? Thanks for your input!
