I'd really like to see the agenda for this meeting to be finalized a day
or so in advance so that I can decide whether what's going to be
discussed in the meeting interests me or not. Do you think doing that
would make sense?
Cheers,
Ehsan

tl;dr The platform meeting will revert to focus on engineering teams as of next
week.
We discussed the platform meeting's use during today's platform meeting. The
consensus of the people who attended the meeting is that the platform meeting
is useful and should be continued. Here is my summary of the key points from
the discussion.
- releng and relman both find this a useful venue to disseminate information
- People like the team status updates - suggestion to hear from more of the
technical teams
- Useful venue for flagging topics on mailing lists - summaries of any
discussion should be posted back to the list
- Good opportunity to discuss issues with the technical teams
- Useful for raising awareness and finding owners for stability, orange factor
bugs
- This meeting is a forcing function for the activities listed above
Specific suggestions:
- a concise summary of this meeting or decisions should be posted to
dev-planning or a blog post
- revert the meeting agenda back to focus on technical teams (the meeting
changed in Oct 2012) not products - we have the product meeting for product
discussions
- provide a section in the agenda for others to ask questions of individual
teams
Based on this feedback...
I will take a stab at defining the purpose of the meeting as:
A weekly time for engineering teams to share information with and ask questions
of one another.
I will make the following changes, effective next week:
1. Modify the agenda to focus on engineering teams and activities.
2. Work on summarizing discussions or vague items in the agenda so that the
notes can be understood by people who don't attend the meeting
In support of these changes, I will speak with as many engineering team
managers as possible before next week in an attempt to bring the content inline
with what is desired.
Of course, this is a work in progress. This being your meeting, do these
changes make sense to you? Please share your suggestions either by replying to
the list or to me individually.
Thanks for reading.
Lawrence
