The main reason that I propose two meetings is the timezone issue. I don't think we are going to find a perfect time for contributors from different regions. The OSS collaboration emphasizes asynchronous communication. The purpose of the meetings is not to turn asynchronous communication into synchronous communication. Those meetings are only used for alignments and to make some of the communications more efficient. So whether it is one meeting or two meetings, it doesn't really matter.
We can keep two meetings available. People can choose which one to attend and discuss. If there is a meeting that fewer people attend, we can always cancel it. Community meetings are informal events for gathering people together to discuss topics. I don't think we need a vote to do that. We can get the first meeting started. As we go, we can make it better. - Sijie On Fri, Jan 29, 2021 at 5:15 AM Enrico Olivelli <eolive...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thank you all, > and thank you Sijie for the document. > > I would prefer to have initially only one meeting, I am fine with 4 PM PST, > as most of the contributors are from the US and from Asia, it is not so > late for Europe (1 AM). > If one meeting works then we can think about splitting it when there is > demand from people from Europe > > So I would like to start on 2nd February 2021 at 4 PM PST as written in the > Google Doc > > @Sijie did you mention that we should "VOTE" before starting this activity > ? > > Enrico > > > Il giorno ven 29 gen 2021 alle ore 13:03 ran leon <monkey.d....@gmail.com> > ha scritto: > > > +1 Sijie Guo <guosi...@gmail.com> > > > > The virtual Pulsar community meeting is so cool and I think Sijie's > > proposal is more reasonable, thanks. > > > > Best Regards, > > Ran > > > > On 2021/01/29 08:53:40, Sijie Guo <guosi...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > That's a super great idea!
