Re: side meetings and BarBOFs.

Not answering to anyone in particular.

I agree that BarBOFs are useful, I just wish they were better
communicated. If I had learnt about which ones were happening I might
have joined.

cheers

I think Michael's point is that because a BOF only has two shots, people 
trying again do NOT go through the open, advertised process and thus end up 
with closed meetings where people are (almost always INADVERTENTLY) not 
invited. It would be more open and transparent to have these meetings on the 
calendar, or at least the BOF wiki.

Michael, 

a Bar BOF is an discussion among interested people that is open for others. 
Since we like transparency and openness we invite others to join these 
discussions. 

Would you rather like to have meetings where you are not invited? 

Ciao
Hannes

PS: Discussions in a bar are great if you can actually hear the other 
person.

The number of side meetings is simply overwhelming.
I would like to propose either repealing the "2 BOF" rule, or reminding
ADs that they can authorize more than 2 BOFs, and they should do that.

If we have time/place and people have free cycles for these side
meetings, etc.  can we just put them in the schedule and be done with?

(And no more "BAR" BOFs that aren't in the bar)
