I'm looking forward to this meeting. I hear grumblings from lots of
different folks about how frustrating the instability of CPAN Testers
is. I think we will make a LOT of people happy if we can stabilize it.
Full disclosure, the meeting is at noon on a workday for me so I will be
probably be eating in my work office during the meeting. If that's an
issue let me know and I'll turn my camera off. Otherwise I'll assume you
want the camera on so you can stare at my handsome face.
If it helps, here is a countdown to the meeting

which should automatically translate the time to your local timezone.

Everyone who is interested in helping out with moving CPANTesters
infrastructure back to full functionality is absolutely welcome to
attend. Here's the SPACER:
* Safety: If you have new ideas, suggestions or input, they're
welcome. Anyone who has an interest in helping out with the
CPANTesters infrastructure is welcome to attend, and you do not
have to have your camera on, but are welcome to do so.
* Purpose: A little face-to-face time with Doug Bell for folks who
are new and wanting to help maintain and improve the CPANTesters
systems.
* Agenda: Somewhat free-form; everyone will be given an opportunity
to introduce themselves, so we can put names and faces together.
After that, Preaction (Doug Bell) will have the floor for whatever
information he wishes to present; questions to follow.
*
Code of Conduct: New ideas, suggestions, friendly conversation,
and thoughtful questions are welcome. Ridiculing or attacking
others is not; and will be reacted to swiftly and decisively.
We're here to discuss *technical and operational matters*, not
personalities or personal axes-to-grind.
*
Expectations: Meet-and-greet, and hopefully a few folks will have
details and information they need at the end of a meeting to begin
formulating plans to get the CPT architecture back up and happy,
and commence improvements. Resources (people with skills) will be
identified who can carry that out.
*
Roles: Zoom's AI summarizer will be running, but recording will
not; I will be cleaning up its summary from my own notes and
sending them to the list a day or two after the meeting, so
consider me the "Scribe." Additionally, I will be the door-keeper
for the Zoom meeting, and the (hopefully-unneeded) bouncer, since
it's my Zoom account.
