Brief summary of 18 January meeting:
Hi Builders/Testers/Releasers!
In light of the fact Regis has given me the figurative Key to the Kingdom, last week (literally this one: 
), and as suggested in my modest proposal, I think we should try and do more asynchronously; i.e, in this forum and on Slack. I haven’t seen a majority of dissentions to this particular point, so with that in mind (and also because the meetup otherwise scheduled for tomorrow is just not accessible from my timezone!), I propose cancelling tomorrow’s meetup, replacing it with a thread in this forum.
I’ll create a dedicated thread for this purpose, tomorrow, perhaps calling it “BTR Weekly”, and link back to it here. Nothing fancy: the idea is to review what was done in the past week, and plan the next one - much like during the Zoom call.
I’m not suggesting we get rid of them all - let’s just reduce the frequency to bi-weekly. So one of the first things to plan will be the next face-to-face meetup, on February 1st. To be fairer to both eastern and western group members, how about if we try and pick a new time? Please select your timezone and paint over all the times that are doable for you, even if not ideal:
Thanks!
We have a winner! Not an unanimous winner, but almost. The time which is least inconvenient for everybody that voted is 16:00 UTC.
This means we’ll next meet on 2021-02-01T16:00:00Z. I’ll still working on our agenda, but in the meantime, this is the new event!
If you’d rather subscribe to the new calendar instead, here’s the link, also in ical. (We should discuss finding a way for the group to “own” a calendar, instead of having it jump to different organizations on every leadership change.)
This is the agenda for today’s meeting:
edx/configuration effort for Lilac, and a different person to head the Tutor one (no surprises on who’s the best person for the job).Link to meeting video (looks like the first few seconds of video are frozen, but it picks up around 00:00:29)
Link to meeting chat log
Meeting notes will be incorporated into next week’s biweekly update.
As noted above 
the Zoom meeting url and schedule have been changed. Please update your calendars! You should refer to the links given in the top post.

(Note, this is a different meeting URL from last time - I had to move it to a different account. @regis, mind updating the top post, please? Thanks!)
Here’s last meeting’s video, along with the chat.
We had @nimisha, @nedbat, @pdpinch, @regis, @BbrSofiane, @Maksim_Sokolskiy, @sambapete, and @jhony_avella with us. Thanks to you all!
I’m posting the text summary as part of the biweekly update I’m writing up on a new thread.

As usual, here’s last meeting’s video, and this is the chat log.
Visible participants were: @nedbat, @pdpinch, @BbrSofiane, @Maksim_Sokolskiy, @jhony_avella, @blarghmatey, @Neo (how was this nick not already taken?) and myself. If you were at the meeting but do not see your name here, consider turning on your video next time - Zoom doesn’t show your box in the gallery video without it.
Biweekly update with a text recap incoming on a separate thread.
Thanks!
Quick announcement: like with the Contributor’s Meetup, I’m opting to move ours one hour earlier. This is for the simple fact that most of our participants are in the northern hemisphere (which doesn’t include me, btw), and Daylight Savings Time kicks in pretty soon.
To be clear, this means our next meetup is on:
The calendar (ical) has been updated accordingly. If you copied the event, you might have to do it again - or update yours in place.
Also, feel free to voice objections. If enough people find this to be an abhorrent northernism, we can simply move the meeting back to where it was.

Will there be any recordings of this meeting?
I think it is great that you you have shared these recordings earlier.
@bipa, there will be - there are. I’m just very late posting them. Apologies - and thanks for reminding me that they’re actually useful to people.
You can expect today’s recording, and the earlier ones, in a few hours.
Thank you so much @arbrandes
I find it quite awesome that you share your work like this.
It reflects the true spirit of what Open EdX truly is, in my opinion 
Keep up the great work
As promised, here are the recordings of the previous meetings including today’s:
Resolutions and sizes of the videos vary, as apparently even if recording “to the cloud”, Zoom will still use the host’s local window size at the time of the meeting.
