AMEA community meetup (EVERYONE welcome!)

[jill (Jillian Vogel)]

Hi everybody!

I am (finally) following in the footsteps of the sensational @sarina by scheduling an AMEA community meetup.

Like the the last AMEA meetup, this one is at 0700 UTC (and if that time makes your eyes water, then you’ll understand why we who occupy the other half of the world need our own meetups! ).

Google calendar invite

Zoom link
0700 Thu 12 Jan 2023 UTC

I’ve invited everyone off the current CC list who I suspect is in a favourable timezone. But I’ve surely missed people, and absolutely everyone is welcome to attend, so please add yourself in and come along!

Agenda

In the spirit of the first meet-up, we’ll keep it simple, and discuss:

• Brief introductions - name, location, your area of focus in Open edX
• What have/will/should I submit as a conference talk or suggestion for the upcoming Open edX Conference 2023 in Boston?
  The call for proposals is here, and submissions are due 11:59 PM Mon 23 Jan 2023 UTC-0400.
• What did you do with Open edX in 2022?
• What do you have planned for Open edX in 2023?

Eveyone is also very welcome to reply on this thread with things to discuss during or after the meetup. We’ll post notes in Confluence if any interesting action items arise, and will post a link to the meeting recording afterwards.

Wishing everyone a great year ahead, and hope to see you at the meetup!

EDIT Apologies, I’ve moved the meeting to Thu 12 Jan, and updated the original post accordingly.

Hi @jill

I’ll put it in my agenda. No promises. I might attend if I am not in bed by then (2 AM - 3 AM) on the east coast of Canada.

Oh my mistake @sambapete … I blanked and thought you were in Europe! No pressure
