I'm OK with essentially skipping the Wednesday video meetings until we're
at a point that we're ready to concentrate on Octavia as a project.
In previous video meetings there was a general sentiment that more could be
accomplished (and faster) using video communications, while avoiding a lot
of misunderstandings that crop up when people use text as a sole means of
communication. (And there's science to back up this claim:

http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/beyond-words/201109/is-nonverbal-communication-numbers-game
)
Having said this, even if someone is recording all the video feeds that go
into a video conference, this is difficult to document in any useful way
for posterity or even for people who aren't able to make it to the
discussion.
When the Octavia project kicks into high gear once the Neutron LBaaS stuff
is in a good state for Juno, we'll probably start with the high-bandwidth
video conferences among those interested in contributing to the project and
probably move to IRC or some other more document-able solution once the
initial groundwork for the project is laid and high-bandwidth communication
isn't as vital.

I prefer IRC only.
As I am located in Israel and so are other Radware people, it is easier
for us to use IRC which is also more available from more devices and
locations.
OpenStack has chosen IRC as a way to allow different people from different
places and different speaking capabilities to work together and this has
proven fine till now.

My personal opinion is I prefer the IRC meetings right now. I,
personally, don't get any more value out of a video chat than I would with
an IRC meeting. However, I know others do get more out of it, and that
includes people on my team at Rackspace. Basically, what I am saying is
I'd be fine with only doing the IRC meeting, at least for now. Once more
focus is put on Octavia, then it would need its own meeting.
Thanks,
Brandon

Have the IRC meetings been time constrained or unproductive? Having a
pre-meeting before the IRC meeting risks being exclusionary to the folks
that can’t make it for that timezone, and I haven’t seen that the IRC
meetings are having communication/decision issues, beyond it being bloody
dang early.
The webex time slot is open for whatever, and if this is what the group
wants to use it for, by all means go for it. But IMO, just cloning the IRC
meeting is something that doesn’t sound right to me.
Thanks,

Hello all!
Earlier in the meetings we discussed using the Wednesday meeting for only
Octavia discussions. One of my teammates would like to allocate the
Wednesday meeting time for face-to-face discussions of the same meeting
topics we have on Thursday morning. I think its a good idea to use the
time that way at least until Octavia is more of a priority. Does anyone
else share this same concern? Do we think that's a good use of that time?
-Trevor
