It would be great to have a calendar of these events if we're scheduling them on a regular cadence. We could use a shared Google Calendar or $tool to publish it. Dinesh > On Aug 19, 2019, at 1:32 PM, sankalp kohli wrote: > > Thank you all for the feedback. It has been a week since last last

If it works for everyone, DataStax has some resources we could put to this effort. We do large scale conferences like this all the time and have the tools to pull it off. It would be a small group of people with full duplex audio and video with the ability for 100s of people to watch in streaming.

I think these meetings would be great.. if there is a specific structure. We use a simple format that could help e.g. 1. Review long term vision/ roadmap. 2. Review next release / features that are in progress. 3. Discuss issues in general and make a game plan for the next quarter. Nothing too

Maybe not, but it seems important to be ready to. I’d anchored to the Google Meet limitation of 25 participants without an Enterprise account (which works in the «small-M presenters» × «large-N broadcast» model), but it’s likely that more than 25 would like to be able to follow. Zoom allows up

We can do the time mostly fair if we alternate back and forth between PST morning and evening. This will at least let most folks attend every other meeting. I agree with Josh's sentiment on the discussions. We can do it, we just have to be aware of it and defer things to Jira and/or ML. On Thu,

Thanks for initiating this conversation Sankalp. On the ASF front, I think we need to ensure that non-Pacific time participants can also participate in the discussions. So posting the notes and opening up discussions after the meet up to dev@ would be a great way of making sure everyone can
