Some tips on how they do meetings for Gentoo...

An agenda that is set before hand (such as the list of questions
already compiled) would probably have been more effective for one
person to really answer properly. It does mean that spur-of-the-moment
things sometimes need to be squashed, but if this is going to be a
regular (or more than one time) thing then they can always be added to
the next agenda.

Moderated voice in the channel is probably also more effective as
there was a lot of off topic conversation that didn't need to be
there. At least people can then take the time to say something in full
without ten lines of off topic conversation in between. Also helps
when reviewing the conversation after.

Just my 2 cents
