Maintainer program kickoff meeting

Hi @maintainers! Given that the program has just started, and with Lilac just around the corner, I’d like to schedule an informal one-hour meeting with you all: both so that we get to know each other better, and to plan some of the work for the upcoming Lilac release. Could you please indicate in the poll below when would be best for you?

Unfortunately I’ll not be available during afternoons this week – I realise this will be an issue for some of you in the Western Hemisphere. If none of the times work for you please vote anyway and we’ll schedule a second meeting next week or the one after.

Pick your dates!

Thanks a lot!

Hi @maintainers, in my case, I am located in Bogota, Colombia (GMT-5). So I think this week it would be kind of hard for me to join the meeting in any of the given options. Could you please record the meeting ? I will catch up with that later. Anyways, thanks @regis for the invitation.

Hi @regis
Can you also mention the timezone for the poll or is it taking the time from my browser’s timezone. I am at GMT+05:30.

@amraotkar It’s using your browser’s timezone I think.

@eric.herrera Yes, I expected you would not be able to attend – sorry about that :-/ I prefer not to record the meeting; in my experience people speak more freely when meetings are not recorded for all of eternity. But we’ll do another meetup pretty soon, don’t worry.

Yes, the times indicated are localized to everyone’s timezone – basically you can assume that the times are correctly set to your own timezone :slight_smile:

We have a date with 4 participants \o/ Shall we meet 2021-04-14T07:00:00Z?

Unfortunately the Discourse poll does not allow me to view the voters, weirdly enough :sweat_smile: So it will be a surprise to me who joins… For those who cannot make it, don’t worry, there will be another opportunity very soon :slight_smile:

@regis I think I will join next time due to conflict.

@amraotkar @pcliu I believe you are both located in the Eastern Hemisphere, right? Would you be available today or tomorrow? I can login to the same Zoom meeting above 2021-04-15T09:00:00Z or 2021-04-16T09:00:00Z.

@eric.herrera Do you have time this afternoon or tomorrow?

This time is okay for me.

Great, I’ll be in that same meeting above in 10 minutes an hour :slight_smile:

Sure, I’ll meet you there. Thank you.

I will try to join you.

Sorry I couldn’t attend! (Forgot to setup notifications on this topic… fixed now)

same. I have also changed the notification to watching.

Let us plan a meeting a week in advance so that everyone has read and RSVPd.

How abt a weekend meeting?

@amraotkar I don’t typically work on weekends, but if it works best for you then that’s ok :slight_smile: would you like to pick a time on 2021-04-23T22:00:00Z or 2021-04-24T22:00:00Z?

Both 24 and 25 work for me. How abt 2021-04-24T08:30:00Z or 2021-04-25T09:30:00Z?

I request everyone to respond with a confirmation.

2021-04-25T09:30:00Z is fine for me. But not everyone has to attend: first, it’s an off day for many people. Secondly, I don’t expect an all-hands meetings would be very productive. This meetups are mostly for informal chat, and many people tend to remain in mute mode all the time in big meetings.
