Would you guys be open to recording these meetings for the benefit of members who can’t attend?

They are usually recorded! However @psi @piper @peter and @auggod I would like us to try and schedule, either every two weeks or at least once a month, a meeting time that works with the Malaysian time zone (it should also work out for a lot of surrounding countries which won’t hurt) so that @tshiunghan or anyone else in that area in the future (we already had someone else from Malaysia join the forum since @tshiunghan!) could attend.
In general, it’s my belief that we should really invite non coders to attend to these meetings, would it just be so that they can introduce themselves to the maintainer’s and establish a true relationship with the worker’s group that’ll try to help build the platform with them and for them. I also found that some of the decisions taken at those meetings are sometimes more political, ethical, social than they are “purely tech related”, it would certainly sometimes require some amount of vulgarization, and it could also sometimes be a little boring when the conversation gets too techy, but I think we should let non coder members be the judge of wether or not it interests them to be there.
Finally, direct presence vs recorded meetings means the possibility for them to ask questions live and this can be quicker and clearer than having to go through a recording on the forum and then writing a post with all your questions.
Let me know if that sounds doable, it’s important we keep those meeting effiscient, but I also found them to be the most enlightening about the current state of the platform, what’s blocking us vs what’s moving forward in the right direction etc. So to me they’re the best way to get a sense of what the product and the people behind it are about.
As I often say, ultimately everything Resonate offers is code based and code tied. How we interract with code and make decisions around code is a great way to estimate what the platform needs and how we can help.

I’d be cool to alternating the meeting times. I feel like 6am PT / 9am ET / 3pm CET / 9pm MYT would be a pretty good one?
For additional context to what LLK said, we do usually record the meetings but forgot to press the record button last week. However, we’ve not been sharing them publicly because when we started that wasn’t something we had consensus around. Like it or not people will act differently if they know their videos are going to be viewed by a public, and we were / are still building our community. The calls have been posted in the Mattermost though. But that’s why we’ve been taking notes and putting those on here, so people are at least aware of what happened in them for posterity.

We want to try to accommodate as many different timezones as we can for the Dev Standup Meeting, so it has been proposed that we alternate the meeting times every other week. The more community input we can get, the better!

Hey all, based on the above poll, we have moved the meeting to three hours earlier than the previous time to accommodate more people (@tshiunghan, @boopboop, @richjensen). The new start time is: 2022-09-14T13:00:00Z. Hope to see you all there!

Per discussion with @tshiunghan / @psi we have renamed this meeting to be “Product Check-In” to make it more obvious that all are welcome to attend.

Thanks everyone who hopped on the call today. Feel like we talked about some really important things (though no decisions were made).
We briefly discussed cancelling the next call (on the 21st) of these for the end of year stuff. If you are around and want to make sure that it does happen, please pitch in. If not, the next call of these will be in the new year!

Stopped by for check-in. Will watch space for next session. Sending most sincere appreciation to @maintainers.

I forgot this was scheduled for today, but also I think these should be permanently put on hold until the board situation gets figured out. Thoughts?

Cancelled it for now. We can pick it back up if/when the board situation is settled.

peace everyone,
the board situation is settled, at least in the interim, our cooperative board is currently legal and stable at least through the next election. (we still need to elect a secretary). former board secretary stepped down because they’re in law school and are not able to be on any boards of this sort for the duration of their matriculation because of conflict of interests. the other board members who put in notices for resignation have paused these motions at least until we sort out if/how we’re going to continue.
with this said, there’s definitely work happening that members should be aware of and we should have a space where members can offer insight in the product we are developing.
we have a lot of value, even in what may be perceived as failure! lol …there’s work in motion right now with our friends in Barcelona regarding defining our DSP. they’ve hired a Product Manager who’s will be walking us through a process of (1.) defining what we want to offer/how we want to achieve it/how we’re going to drive the product and (2.) development - what is the operational definition of service.
i would like for us to reconvene NEXT week Weds Jan 18th. we could have the Product Manager introduce himself to those present at this Product Check-In, he could share what he’s been working on, and we can give feedback based on how we envision our DSP operating, meeting the needs of our membership and community.
for this call i’d encourage everyone who has an interest in helping to define our service/product participate (irrespective of if you have technical/coding skills or not**)
thoughts @workers @maintainers @directors?
