+are affecting the project. Tickets with the `meeting` label will be
+taken as agenda items during the meetings. This repo is to be used primarily
+for development purposes. If you are a user and have questions please use
+the [mailing list or IRC channel](#communication-channels-for-fedora-cloud).
 
-This group is focused on the Fedora Cloud Base images
-that are listed for download on the
-[Fedora Alternative Downloads page](https://alt.fedoraproject.org/).
+# Get Fedora Cloud

+You can grab the Fedora Cloud Base images from the [Fedora Alternative Downloads page](https://alt.fedoraproject.org/).

+# Communication channels for Fedora Cloud
+

+- `#fedora-cloud` on IRC (Freenode)

+# Meetings
+
+The Fedora Cloud SIG has a bi-weekly meeting. The meeting usually
+happens in `#fedora-meeting-1` on irc.freenode.net and the schedule for the
+meeting can be found here: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/calendar/cloud
+
+## Steps to run the meeting
+
+- `cd` to a local checkout of this repo and `git pull`
+- Ping [meeting people](https://pagure.io/cloud-sig/blob/master/f/meeting-people.txt) in `#fedora-cloud` on freenode
+    - `bash meeting-people.txt`
+    - copy lines of output and paste into `#fedora-cloud` channel
+- Navigate to `#fedora-meeting-1` on freenode
+- Type `#startmeeting fedora_cloud_meeting`
+- `#topic roll call`
+
+Wait for 2-4 minutes for people to check in for the roll call.
+
+- `#chair` all the people present for the meeting
+- `#topic Action items from last meeting`
+
+Find the last meeting log from
+[meetbot](https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/teams/fedora_cloud_meeting)
+and post the action items in the meeting for people to
+update the status of.
+
+- After they are done move to each `meeting` ticket from
+  [this tracker](https://pagure.io/cloud-sig/issues?status=Open&tags=meeting)
+
+Do the following for each ticket
+
+- `#topic` Ticket subject
+- `#link` link\_to\_the\_ticket
+
+During the meeting, you can give people action items for them to complete:
+
+- `#action <nickname>` description of what needs to be done
+
+When all topics are over, go for open floor:
+
+- `#topic Open Floor`
+
+After open floor, end the meeting.
+
+- `#endmeeting`
+
+Then, when convenient:
+
+- Remove `meeting` labels from [tickets that were discussed](https://pagure.io/cloud-sig/issues?status=Open&tags=meeting)
+
+- Send an email to [cloud@lists.fedoraproject.org](mailto:cloud@lists.fedoraproject.org) with the
+details of the meeting from [meetbot page](https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/sresults/?group_id=fedora_cloud_meeting&type=team).
+Minutes in textual format are directly available using `.txt` as URL extension.
+It's easiest to get the Minutes/Minutes (text)/Log URLs by copying the
+footer that Meetbot prints after `#endmeeting`. You can see examples in the
+[archives](https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/cloud@lists.fedoraproject.org/);
+the usual format follows:
+
+```
