I can absolutley relate to meeting trauma. I have PTSD from being micromanaged in 3 hour product meetings twice per week lol. The minute there is a slide deck, scrum, I am out, I am not doing that lol.

For me personally I enjoy it's just a relaxed, social thing, more like a hangout or show and tell. But I do agree for public consumption notes are key. Perhaps the recorded part the show and tell could be shorter, by just coordinating who will show off before hand, and let the hangout after be unrecorded to make it more digestible for observers without becoming super formal or annoying. Just my 2 cents.

things got easier in the last meetings I attended, however I share this stress. Especially certain meetings were quite tense in discussion and remembered Work Meetings were you had the urge "if I miss it they do something without me". Other times somebody shows something cool-looking but quick to do and you can just a small bug solved, but it was months of team work. This easily gets to the "impostor syndrome" like at work!

More than one of us has grey hair, when we were younger and students it was easy, but now we all have been more or less traumatized at work and we don't like any more kind of "stress" in a hobby. As much as I love GNUstep it can't push on strain.
