Better communication is needed, yes.  So this sounds like a good idea.
We can try if this will help and if we can manage that.

Thanks all for the positive feedback. So I guess the next steps are:

- propose some dates for the first meeting and a proposed recurrence
  (ideally weekly)
- put together an initial agenda of items to look at

I come back to this in the next few days.

Regards,
Salvatore

Right.

> - put together an initial agenda of items to look at

In support of this, I've added a script called find-recent-urgent to
kernel-team.git which will list:

- Open bugs that were modified recently, or are RC, and are not pending
- Open issues that were modified recently, or are due soon or overdie
- Open MRs that were modified recently and are not drafts

where "recently" and "soon" by default mean within the last and next 7
days (matching the intended meeting schedule).

Of course we may also have agenda times that don't fit into any of
those categories.

So here goes the first proposal. 

Lets meet for the first time on Wed, 29th May, at 21:00 CEST (19:00
UTC).

I propose to do it on #debian-kernel@OFTC with MeetBot recording the
meeting and conclusions (has any of you experience running meetings
with MeetBot? If I'm intended to chair the meeting then I would
appreciate some help with that).

The first agenda could cover:

- finding agreement on recurrence of meeting and timeslots, fixed days
  etc ...

- discussion on recent filled and important open issues

- review open merge requests

- if not already covered: pending updates/work needed for kernel-team
  packages (e.g. firmware-nonfree rebase, linux move to 6.9.y,
  preparation for 6.10~rcX in experimental)

- other things requiring syncup with the team.

Thanks all and looking forward to get some movement in the kernel-team
:)

Regards,
Salvatore
