It's a great idea Jason! We can set it up as a recurrent meeting, inviting all the committers as optional (but also open to contributors that want to join?) In this way when it's on the calendar, each contributor can decide when to come and when not based on their availability.
If we leave the description of each occurrence, open for edits, potentially people can add topics they would like to discuss, it will be a sort of "no necessary agenda but people are encouraged to set a list of potential topics". Having all the committers attending every two weeks is definitely ambitious, but setting the meeting as optional but frequent could increase the probability of having people attending one meeting or another.
