Congratulations, you've just crowned yourself meeting organizer!  Pick a
date, time, and place, then herd the cats there.

I can't do next Friday.  I think we should aim for next week, to give us
time to coordinate and to prepare.

Let's have one now, and then more as needed.

Jumping into the meeting unprepared, then spending half of the alloted
time listening to people explaining where they want to take QAPI seems
like a bad use of our time.  Better: write it up and post it, so we can
all read before we meet.  Do not reply, except perhaps to ask for
clarification.  Discuss in the meeting.

I can see such posts from Marc-Andre, Kevin, and Daniel.  Some of them
could use a bit more detail, perhaps.

Thoughts?

More regular meetings sit fairly low on my personal wish list.
