FESCo meeting process

This guide explains how to manage and run a FESCo IRC meeting. Many of the steps here could well apply to other groups that hold regular IRC meetings as well.

Pre-meeting

On Friday before the Monday meeting, do the following tasks:

1. First, check for any open issues:

https://pagure.io/fesco/issues

2. For each issue:

  • Make sure to check with and invite stakeholders who may not be CC'd in the issue. Consider deferring issue if stakeholders have not had adequate notice and are not available for discussion.
  • When an issue should be discussed in the meeting, click on 'Edit Metadata' and add the 'meeting' tag. Please note that only members of fesco group on pagure can add the 'meeting' tag.
  • When an issue is older than a week and was already voted upon by enough FESCo members, close it appropriately and remember it for the digest section in the meeting announcement

3. Also check for tickets that were closed after last meeting with an in-ticket vote to mention them in the respective section

4. You may want to ping the Change Wrangler to ask if there are any new Changes to discuss

5. Go through the report of 'meeting' issues, and add them to a copy of the template below.

https://pagure.io/fesco/report/meeting_agenda

6. Generate an email to the devel@lists.fedoraproject.org list with the following template:

Day of meeting

1. Send out a reminder IRC message a bit before the meeting to the #fedora-devel IRC channel.

2. Generate a text file from the following template:


 
#startmeeting FESCO (2024-04-01)
#meetingname fesco
#chair nirik, ignatenkobrain, jforbes, zbyszek, bookwar, sgallagh, contyk, mhroncok, otaylor
#topic init process
#topic #NNNN TICKET TITLE
.fesco NNNN
#agree DECISION (+X, Y, -Z)
...
#topic Next week's chair
#action NAME will chair next meeting
#topic Open Floor
#endmeeting

Note that mmaslano and stickster are FESCo liaisons for the Environment and Stacks and Workstation WGs, respectively, and not voting FESCo members.

You can copy and paste in lines from this file as the meeting progresses.

3. Start an email replying to the agenda post. Change the subject to: Summary/Minutes for today's FESCo meeting (2024-04-01)>

Meeting time

1. Use the lines up to 'init process' to start the meeting.

2. Wait a few for people to show up. Confirm there are at least (5) voting members present for Quorum. If not, cancel meeting.

3. Go through each topic. Watch time on each and if 15 minutes are reached, one of the following actions may be taken:

  • If there is a vote to continue, then discussion continues for an additional 15 minutes.
  • If there is no vote to continue the discussion after the initial 15 minutes, ask those members who are discussing the issue to clearly write up their thoughts and position on a wiki page for consideration at the next meeting. Each view point can list their thoughts as a separate proposal, or work off-line with others, to come up with a single proposal acceptable to them all. The wiki page is used in the next meeting to guide discussions and voting.

Post meeting

1. When #endmeeting runs it displays links for the logs. Use the .txt and then .log.txt files to send an e-mail as a reply to the meeting schedule e-mail. The subject should be:

Summary/Minutes from today's FESCo Meeting (2024-04-01)

Send the e-mail right after the meeting to not forget it.

2. Process through tickets comment/close them as appropriate.
