Thank you to the courageous who came to the contributors meetup yesterday, after the workshop marathon meeting from the day before :stuck_out_tongue:

New meeting time!

We are currently considering moving the contributors meetup to a different time. So if you have been considering joining the meetup, but it was always at an inconvenient time, here is your chance.

Vote here by Wednesday Nov 25th (end of day)

Edit: Done! The new meeting time is on Monday at 15:00 UTC, every two weeks. The next meeting time is thus November 30th at 15:00 UTC (Timezone converter)

(Also let me know if you don’t already receive the meeting invite.)

I was under the weather on Monday and couldn’t attend the meeting. Thanks for making the recording available so soon after the meeting. I was able to catch up this morning.

Please note that due to the northern hemisphere entering Daylight Savings Time soon, and the fact that (as far as I can tell) that’s where most attendees are joining from, I moved the meetup up one hour in UTC. So it’s now:

Monday March 22nd at 14:00 UTC (Timezone converter)

You may have gotten a new invite. If you have any objections, feel free to voice them below. If enough people think this is a bad idea, we’ll just go back to where it was before. :slight_smile:

(I also updated the agenda and the recap post above.)

@arbrandes I do have an objection yes - the meeting was already at 5am for me before, that would put it at 4am my time. And generally, to make sure people can plan correctly, I’d rather not shift the meeting around during timezone changes (which vary for plenty of countries anyway), but keep it at a fixed time UTC, and in any case discuss it with other attendees before making any changes.

50

@antoviaque, alright, fair enough. I agree in principle that meeting times should not change with DST, but I found that 15:00 UTC was going to be a problem for @nimisha, and, rather naively, did not take into account that even if most attendees are in the north, not all northern countries (or states) undergo a DST change.

So, since two very important participants have a scheduling difficulty
 poll time:

At what recurring time should we hold the Contributor’s Meetup?
  • 15:00 UTC (the old time)
  • 14:00 UTC (the new one)

I am fine with either time, but there isn’t a way to indicate that.

Oops - I accidentally clicked on the poll. Please discount my vote above. I was looking to see if I could add another option.

It would be great for Xavier to continue to attend the meeting. If we make it at 14:00 UTC, I’ll need to catch up with the group afterward. (There is a standing meeting at that time with JP and other Eng directors.)

May I suggest another time: 17:00 UTC ?

  • This would be later in the morning for Xavier.
  • For ET folks it would go back and forth between the afternoon hours of: 12pm ET and 1pm ET over the course of the year.
  • I’m not sure how 17:00 UTC plays out for folks in other timezones though.
