A lot of times the agenda items are cryptic enough unless you are knee deep in things. That would help people collect their thoughts even more and break away from the few minutes of delay in introducing the subject (the introduction of the subject would be in the agenda).If the goal is to move most of the discussion onto the mailing list, we could link to the thread(s) there, too.This seems like a great idea to me. Granted in many cases we already have a change proposed in Gerrit containing a (potentially) lengthy explanation, but duplicating some of that on the agenda can't hurt.I like the idea. One issue is the timing. I prepare and post the meeting agenda on the Monday (in time for everyone to read it and decide if they want to attend). However I prepare the "introduction of the subject" shortly before the meeting on Tuesday, so that it takes into account the recent changes and is up to date with the status of the review. Some people post reviews/comments 10 minutes before meeting, so it will be very hard to account for those comments or objections in the "introduction" posted the day before...Right Thierry, we all have to adjust the way we work somewhat.
As mentioned in the meeting, I've started a thread to discuss the topic about dropping the meetings: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2017-May/116375.html Thanks, Flavio -- @flaper87 Flavio Percoco
