* Chris Wright  (cdub, 18:03:15)
* Iben Rodriguez  (iben, 18:03:46)
* Agree on problem statement (could include (1) “too many meetings with
  audio”, (2) “meeting overlaps: lack of GTM resources”, (3) “meeting
  recordings large, hard to handle, no obvious place to store”, (4)
  “audio issues in large meetings (echo etc.)”)  (frankbrockners,
  18:04:56)

    https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings  (iben, 18:07:11)

    https://wiki.opendaylight.org/view/Meetings  (iben, 18:07:33)
  * synchronous communication is extremely expensive  (frankbrockners,
    18:08:55)

* problem statement  (frankbrockners, 18:09:27)
  * key issue:  too many meetings that one has to attend and the need
    for synchronous interaction  (frankbrockners, 18:13:18)
  * consequence is: audio meetings create silos and exclusiveness
    (frankbrockners, 18:14:20)
  * audio meetings usually only have a poor record (listening to
    recordings - if available at all - is time consuming), meeting
    minutes are sparse  (frankbrockners, 18:15:32)
  * IRC meetings automatically create a good record  (frankbrockners,
    18:15:57)
  * IRC is only friendly to people whose working habits are to be in
    front of a keyboard  (frankbrockners, 18:16:39)

* solution approaches  (frankbrockners, 18:27:50)
  * try IRC as default for meetings (no audio)  (frankbrockners,
    18:28:14)
  * for countries that have difficulty accessing IRC, offer a OPNFV
    hosted proxy (a la webchat.opnfv.org - which would proxy to
    freenode) and check whether irccloud would be an alternative for
    those folks  (frankbrockners, 18:29:13)
  * all of the above are just suggestions  (frankbrockners, 18:30:14)
  * key is  fewer meetings (request each meeting owner to clarify _why_
    they _need_ a meeting)  (frankbrockners, 18:30:27)



Meeting ended at 18:38:41 UTC.
