Hi all, I just talked with Randall; to get things rolling our idea was to simply call again next week (Thursday 27th, 21:00 GMT, assuming Benjamin is available) and invite you all to join.
Manish, Jake, and others who would like to join: does this also work for you? If it is not a good moment, we could compare agendas and move it, or perhaps easier is to just find a better slot for the subsequent call. As for the “how”, I suppose we could start with using the main public Jitsi instance. It has no group size cap, but we would have to see how well it scales if crowds of people show up (a problem we’d be glad to have :)). So the proposal for now: *Thursday 27 February 21:00 GMT <https://everytimezone.com/s/4380a617>, in **https://meet.jit.si/apache-annotator* — Gerben On 13/02/2020 20:22, Benjamin Young wrote: > I'd currently be open to weekly, but bi-weekly could also work. > > Mainly, the hope is that some regular check-in cadence (like the board > reports...but for more of us and more often ;) ) would help keep us involved > and focused on getting Apache Annotator through the initial boot-up period. > > To make this happen, though, we'll need to find a good group call tool.
