Awesome - sounds there's definitely some general interest. (Though the details need some hashing out.)
> I'm wondering if bi-weekly is a bit ambitious? It might be. Maybe monthly is a better starting point. My hope was that making the meetings reasonably frequent would cut down on the pressure folks might feel to show up to any particular meeting. But maybe bi-weekly is ambitious to start. Let's say "monthly" then. > Who will host them all? I'm happy to volunteer, since I brought it up. In my mind that'd mostly involve (1) setting up a Zoom or Google Hangouts meeting, (2) sending a reminder email here a few days in advance with a video conferencing link, and then (3) opening up the meeting when the time comes. > Do you have experience with "no-agenda" meetings elsewhere? I guess? I've worked at a few places now where the search team holds some form of "office hours" where folks might come with some PR needing review or some question to discuss, or they might show up "empty handed" just to hang out and learn from the discussions that others are having. And, even less formally, I'd point to the sort of informal hallway conversations that we all have when we have with our coworkers at work, or others in the community at conferences. Those were the two models that I guess I had in mind. That said - I appreciate how not having an agenda to advertise in advance makes it harder for folks deciding how to use their time. If folks prefer having a loose list of topics, let's do that. If the host sends out a reminder email a few days in advance, people planning to attend could advertise their suggested topic on that thread? Or a Google sheet or Confluence or anything else would work too. No real opinion on that.
