Thanks Stamatis for the recommendation of using two different slots, I am hoping that can help boost the number of people we can get involved with the project.
I am thinking of having the first on Tuesday 1/14 at 16:00 UTC to try to catch the US folks before their days get hectic and we can also try to find a Monday slot that we can get on people's calendars. Unfortunately my Monday's are quite full at the moment so I may need someone else to lead that discussion. I have a meeting link for Tuesday, assuming this works for enough folks: https://meet.google.com/zmz-bcwa-yct Thanks, Tim On Fri, Jan 3, 2025 at 1:11 AM Jean-Baptiste Onofré <j...@nanthrax.net> wrote: > Hi, > > That's a good idea.
