Hi everyone, Thank you all for your participation in the catalog community sync so far! I'm writing to discuss changes to the meeting schedule to better fit everyone's availability and make our discussions more productive.
Here’s a quick summary of the current cadence <https://lists.apache.org/thread/f7q72ls32f9lxy94d203zzz66tlslbxr>: - Wednesday 9 AM Pacific Time: Recurring every 3 weeks since August 7 (most recent: Nov 20). - Wednesday 8 PM Pacific Time: Recurring every 3 weeks since August 14 (most recent: Nov 6). Given the upcoming U.S. Thanksgiving holiday, I suggest we *cancel* the *November 27, 8 PM* meeting. Additionally, as Jack mentioned in a previous thread <https://lists.apache.org/thread/zfds1hcwwoyqzjx081jymktyodv7shrh>, there’s been discussion about reducing the meeting frequency to once every 3 weeks (instead of twice). With that in mind, I propose the following as a starting point for discussion: - Keep the Wednesday 9 AM Pacific Time meeting every 3 weeks - Pause the Wednesday 8 PM Pacific Time meeting for now and explore a suitable alternative time for participants in different time zones. - Once we find a time that works for other regions, switch to a new cadence: - Wednesday 9 AM PT: Recurring every 6 weeks. - [Alternative Time for Other Time Zones]: Recurring every 6 weeks, offset by 3 weeks from the 9 AM meeting. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this or any suggestions for alternative approaches that might work better for the community. Please share your feedback, and let’s discuss what works best for everyone and coordinate accordingly. Best regards, Honah
