Background on meetbot: it is the irc bot that we use to help coordinate our various Tor team irc meetings, and record results for posterity and transparency. See e.g. http://meetbot.debian.net/tor-dev/2017/ http://meetbot.debian.net/tor-project/2017/
So far we've had an ad hoc schedule and location for irc meetings, spread around both #tor-project and #tor-dev.
After an incident with our meetbot where we accidentally left it logging #tor-dev all weekend, we've decided to take a more defensive approach: we will hold the meetbot-mediated sessions in a new channel, called #tor-meeting.
So, if you want to use meetbot -- and feel free to do so -- you should move your meeting to #tor-meeting. It might be wise to tell the folks at the previous location that you're doing it elsewhere, so people can join and watch / participate if they want.
One downside could be that the meetings won't have as many random bystanders watching them, so maybe fewer people will get pulled in. But we can resolve that, maybe even more successfully, with better report-backs.
I think the upside of making it clearer whether there is something logging, and publishing the logs to the internet, is worth trying this new approach.
