Create a meeting

Choose when and where the meeting should take place

To create a new meeting, you need a meeting time and a meeting venue. Meetings are conducted in IRC in our publicly accessible and logged meeting channels. It is recommended stick to one of these channels, for good reasons.

To find and book a meeting time, visit our meetings log page. You can either use the listed iCal feed to view all currently existing meetings in calendar format, or evaluate the wikipage by using Control-F in your browser to search for conflicts at a specific UTC time (the majority of meetings start at the top of the hour and continue for 60 minutes).

If you find you have selected a time which has other occurrences on the wikipage, evaluate date and meeting channel to select a UTC time, date and channel that is available.

Register the meeting

Go to our meetings repo and clone a copy for yourself following our development workflow. Follow the instructions in the meetings repo to create a new yaml file which will hold the details of your meeting. Submit the patch to gerrit (details in the development workflow link) and once it is merged it will appear here and in the ical feed.

Creating a wikipage for your meeting agenda is helpful. Here is an example.

Chairing meetings

Once you have done the above, you can read how to chair a meeting.

-Sign into the wikipage using your OpenID (the same as you would sign into Gerrit) and edit the wikipage, perhaps adding a new section for your meeting, and stating the date, time and channel combination you want to book for your meeting.

-Then create a new wikipage for your meeting (perhaps follow another team meeting wikipage as an example) and fill in the details about the purpose of your group and why you are meeting. An agenda is helpful.
-===Chair a Meeting===
-To chair a meeting, show up in the IRC channel a few minutes before the date and time selected. Look for the "openstack" bot, it will be responding to your meeting commands. If there is a meeting ahead of you, wait until they are finished, do try to begin and conclude your meetings ontime, but be courteous to those ahead and following you, their meeting is important as well.
-To start the meeting, issue the "#startmeeting <meetingname>" command. The bot should start the meeting. If the bot doesn't respond to the "#startmeeting" command, ask for assistance in #openstack-infra.
-The meeting bot will also tell you what commands it responds to as soon as you start the meeting.
+Creating a wikipage for your meeting agenda is helpful. [https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/InfraTeamMeeting Here] is an example.
-End the meeting with the "#endmeeting" command. The "#endmeeting" command takes no arguments. The bot will only listen to the chair of that meeting for the "#endmeeting" command for the 60 minutes following the "#startmeeting" command, after the 60 minutes have expired it will listen to "#endmeeting" from anyone.
+== Chairing meetings ==
-All our meetings are logged at [http://eavesdrop.openstack.org eavesdrop.openstack.org]. Looking over logs and minutes of past meetings should show you the results of the various meeting commands so that your meeting minutes are output in a format that is useful to you and your team. The logs are based on exact name so "#startmeeting foo", "#startmeeting

-Foo", and #startmeeting FOO" would all be considered three separate meeting categories in the system. Be consistent in your meeting name to keep your meeting logs grouped together.
