[ANN / RFC] Regular community calls?
Hey all,
It's been suggested again a few times recently that we should try and have some sort of regular open call / video chat as that might help clear up some issues. To that end, I'd like to propose we have the first one at 9am -0600 UTC (3pm +0 UTC) via Google Meet. This will be a day after the v2025.04-rc1 release, and I'll include a link in the release email. If this works out well, we can make it a regular thing for the day after a release and also try rotating the time, or having a second meeting much later in my day that's at a better time for other parts of the world.

So do you mean the first one will be in two weeks (i.e. Tues 28th January America/Europe, Wed for Asia?)
Here are the running notes https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YBOMsbM19uSFyoJWnt7-PsOLBaevzQUgV-hiR88a5-o/edit?tab=t.0 from the previous series.

Yes, thanks for the clarification.

Meeting minutes are good, but perhaps we should send them out via email so they're more accessible.

Yes, I think Google docs has an option for that, but it would need to be in text format.

Yes, I think the key is taking minutes and avoiding discussing how we format the minutes. Whomever volunteers to take the minutes can take them however is easiest and then send them as an email afterwards.

+1 TBH would be the best to send meeting invitation to have a record in a calendar.

I agree in theory, but Google is being a bit of a challenge at making a public calendar link. I'm trying to avoid doing things that will result in a higher spam potential. How far in advance would it be good to send the meeting invite out do you think?

Thanks for initiating this, I think it will be helpful for most of us. For folks in the IST region, this is a pretty okay time in the evening so sounds good at least for me.
