[U-Boot] [ANN] Monthly developer call

Hey all,
So as I mentioned back in December[1], I was thinking of doing a recurring community conference call. I've gone ahead and scheduled one now with Zoom (https://zoom.us/) as they work well enough with Linux as a host. For now, the time is 4PM UTC, which is 11AM US Eastern, 8AM US Pacific.
The meeting URL is: https://zoom.us/j/203089062 (and so the meeting number is 203089062)
For dial-in: +1 (646) 876-9923 and world-wide local dial-in numbers are found on: https://zoom.us/u/acnOQeSN
Since we don't do attachments, we do inline patches, what follows is the ics file for the meeting, to import to your favorite (or, least-disliked) calendaring solution: BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID:-//zoom.us//iCalendar Event//EN VERSION:2.0 CALSCALE:GREGORIAN METHOD:PUBLISH CLASS:PUBLIC BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/New_York TZURL:http://tzurl.org/zoneinfo-outlook/America/New_York X-LIC-LOCATION:America/New_York BEGIN:DAYLIGHT TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0400 TZNAME:EDT DTSTART:19700308T020000 RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;BYMONTH=3;BYDAY=2SU END:DAYLIGHT BEGIN:STANDARD TZOFFSETFROM:-0400 TZOFFSETTO:-0500 TZNAME:EST DTSTART:19701101T020000 RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;BYMONTH=11;BYDAY=1SU END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190211T165035Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20190218T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20190218T120000 SUMMARY:U-Boot community meeting RRULE:FREQ=MONTHLY;WKST=SU;UNTIL=20191216T170000;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=3MO UID:ZOOM203089062 TZID:America/New_York DESCRIPTION:Tom Rini is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://zoom.us/j/203089062%5Cn%5CnOne tap mobile\n+164687699 23,,203089062# US (New York)\n+16699006833,,203089062# US (San Jose) \n\nDial by your location\n +1 646 876 9923 US (New York)\n +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\nMeeting ID: 203 089 062\nFind your loca l number: https://zoom.us/u/acnOQeSNf%5Cn LOCATION:https://zoom.us/j/203089062 BEGIN:VALARM TRIGGER:-PT10M ACTION:DISPLAY DESCRIPTION:Reminder END:VALARM END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR

Is this call scheduled? I'm trying zoom but unable to join.

I can't believe I forgot that part in the plain text of the message and not just the ics part. The call is the 3rd Monday of every month at 4PM UTC / 11AM US Eastern / 8AM US Pacific.

That, sadly, excludes me from each and every one of those calls.
Will there be any transcript for people who cannot join ?
I think we should postpone the call, advertise it more first and decide on a suitable time _before_ scheduling it again.
btw the zoom dial-in numbers link doesn't work, but I think this one https://zoom.us/zoomconference should work.

I don't plan to transcribe them, no. I plan to treat these like the in-person meetings we've had before, so there won't be any final decisions made on the call. But hopefully some topics to bring back to the ML with more clarity.

I was hoping for more feedback, but we'll see who shows up tomorrow. There's no good time for everyone, but as I've stated before if we get interest in a more Asia-friendly time, we can do that.

The meeting link won't work until closer to the call, yes.

This doesn't help, I'd certainly like to know what was said in the meeting.

Maybe CCing some of the active contributors would help with that. And awareness, I talked to some and they were seldom aware of this call.

I forgot it but I just added it to my calendar for next time.
It is easy enough to share a google doc with edit access so anyone can write notes.

Anyone with google account anyway, why not e.g. etherpad ? When is the next time ?

Hi Marek,
You don't have to be signed in to view, just to edit. Etherpad is pretty crappy IMO.
I believe the next one will be 3rd week of June.

I don't think we managed to ever have more than the first meeting. So if people want to start by suggesting a better time, we should start there.

Seems to work fine. But maybe there is some other alternative?
(we can just log some irc channel?)
I believe the next one will be 3rd week of June.
Is there already some more precise date ?

At present it is the 3rd Monday of every month at 4PM UTC / 11AM US Eastern / 8AM US Pacific.
So 15 June.

Oh, did I miss some of the previous ones ?
Also, it might actually be better to make this an IRC meeting, to mitigate language barrier issues. I sometimes have trouble following fast spoken english myself.

We already discussed this further up the thread...we already have IRC, but what we don't have is an actual meeting. We can try to speak slowly!

I suspect you want to get feedback on this part from others who don't have english as their native language. If others are fine with this, so be it.
What is the benefit of a telco compared to IRC anyway ?

Frankly with the current state of the world I feel like there's a lot of people in video conf overload, so a scheduled IRC meeting might be better anyhow.
