Good to have some discussion!
One point about alternating is that it's not only about
remembering when
the next call is. It's also about scheduling other calls,
and seems to
create some ripple
effect:
If it's important for me to regularly join alternating AC
meetings, then I
cannot organize standing meetings on either Tuesday or
Thursday.
Unless I'm OK with not joining a standing meeting
every 2 months.
But we have the voting system for finding the best
possible
compromise. If you can't ever attend a meeting on
Tuesday,
you can vote it -1. That is, you have a +1/-1 vote for
each of
the alternatives, giving 3 votes in total which you
can exercise
or not.
Assuming Neil's -1 for Tuesday and Oliver's -1 for
Thursday
(who said they definitely can't join these days),
we currently get:
+2 Thursday (Andrew, Jeff, Martin -
Oliver)
+3 Alternating (Jeff, Neil,
Boris)
+3 Tuesday (Jeff, Oliver, Chris, Martin -
Neil)
I'm not in favor of re-voting (in the interest of getting
a decision
soon), but feel free to change a vote
or add one which you
have not exercised yet.

+1 for alternating. With all the Google calendars we have in place now
for Eclipse related events, it should be possible to use a more complicated
call schedule.

Alternating seems to be the most inclusive option.
