Hi everyone, I’d like to propose the establishment of recurring meetings to assist with engagement and alignment across the TinkerPop community. I envision these meetings as a place where folks can discuss any ideas, concerns, or goals they may have related to TinkerPop. All formal proposals and development decisions will remain in the dev list. These meetings would be open to anyone who’d like to join, and meeting notes would be taken and posted back to the devlist for anyone who couldn’t attend.
I think that approximately once every 2 weeks is a good cadence for these meetings. As most of the folks I see active here are located in Europe and North America, I think a time of 16:00 UTC (17:00 CET, 08:00 PST) is a good compromise to start with. I’m certainly open to other meetings times as folks express their availability. If these meetings draw interest from folks in Asia, Europe, and the Americas, then I would suggest we adopt a rotation of times such that there are some meetings available at a reasonable time to everyone who is interested. I’d suggest scheduling the meetings every 2nd Wednesday, although Tuesdays or Thursdays are also good if anyone expresses a preference. If there is sufficient interest, I would expect these new meetings to take the place of our current gathering on Discord. I would send invites to a Teams meeting to anyone who is interested, as well as making a meeting link publicly available. Anyone will be able to join without creating an account, as well as optionally via a browser. Please let me know if you are interested in such meetings and if you have any preferences on scheduling. Thanks, Cole
