As an example of something that I think doesn't add much value in the
meeting - DerekH has already been giving semi-regular CI/CD status
reports via email. I'd like to make these weekly update emails
regular, and take the update off the meeting agenda. I'm offering to
share the load with him to make this easier to achieve.
The Tuskar item is the same way. Not sure how that was added as an
explicit agenda item, but I don't see why we'd call out to one
particular project within TripleO. Anything we'd need eyes on should be
covered when we chime in about specs or reviews needing eyes.
Are there other things on our regular agenda that you feel aren't
offering much value?
I'd propose we axe the regular agenda entirely and let people promote
things in open discussion if they need to. In fact the regular agenda
often seems like a bunch of motions we go through... to the extent that
while the TripleO meeting was going on we've actually discussed what was
in my opinion the most important things in the normal #tripleo IRC
channel. Is getting through our review stats really that important!?
I think the review stats would be better handled in e-mail format like
Derek's CI status e-mails. We don't want the reviews to get out of hand,
but the time spent pasting in the links and everyone looking at the
stats during the meeting itself are wasteful. I could see bringing it up
if it's becoming a problem, but the number crunching doesn't need to be
part of the meeting.
Are there things you'd like to see moved onto, or off, the agenda?
Perhaps a streamlined agenda like this would work better:
* Bugs
This one is valuable and I like the idea of keeping it.
* Projects needing releases
Is this even needed as well? It feels like for months now the answer is
always "Yes, release the world".
I think our cadence on those release can be slowed down as well (the
last few releases I've done have had minimal churn at best), but I'm not
trying to thread jack into that discussion. I bring it up because we
could remove that from the meeting and do an entirely new model where we
get the release volunteer through other means on a (potentially) less
frequent release basis.
* Open Discussion (including important SPECs, CI, or anything needing
attention). ** Leader might have to drive this **
I like the idea of a specific Specs/Reviews section. It should be quick,
but a specific point in time where people can #info a review they need
eyes on. I think it appeals to my OCD to have this more structured than
interspersed with other topics in open discussion.
