Probably the easiest thing is to start a wiki page and put a basic
outline together, and start collecting ideas there.

Yeah, I found it confusing too. It turns out to not be tooooo hard. The
magic meeting functionality is provided by a "bot" — a script which
watches the channel and reacts when it sees certain patterns. This bot
is called "zodbot", and is based on "meetbot". Zodbot documentation is
at <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Zodbot>, and that for MeetBot is at 
<https://wiki.debian.org/MeetBot>.

There's also a wiki page at
<https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_run_a_Fedora_Marketing_meeting>
with some specific guidelines (although I think they need to be updated
-- #startmeeting requires a meeting name now, for example).
