I would like to chime in here, i think ML 'meetings' are too slow and cumbersome,
Email is not for meetings.
Problem with Forums is that interface is loaded with usual decorations that lower amount of text that can be presented at once.
they do not give realtime discussions that is desperately needed.
That is true, but timezones are real problem.
I would also like to add that if these meetings work and are done properly, (minutes taken and shared with the ML and news.opensuse.org) it could spread to other areas ...
That is similar approach that CBoltz used once. He posted to the mail list relevant part of IRC discussion log that was not scheduled meeting, so not many was present, but gave few ideas that should not be forgotten.
In other words we can setup meeting, or meetings on weekend, and then publish logs and minutes on a mail list, allowing for more discussion.
Publishing logs is always a good idea. I am also not totally against IRC meetings, they just got the disadvantage that they are sheduled on a fixed date, so one has to make sure he/she steps in then. yes that is true, but worth it
Besides that we have to make sure that the topics are outlined in advance and we that got an open topic section at the end.
just basic topics first up, like next release projects, implementation, build status updates. not these exactly but the basic topics are covered every meeting regardless of the release stage, then open the floor. this keeps it casual and stress free as we all know what to expect and no need for pre meeting crap
Raise hand/voice rules should be stated before every meeting.
that is what the person who chairs the meeting is for, to control what is going on and to outlay the rules and such to those who are new at the start of each meeting. personally i like the rule of being polite and let others have their say
