It seems to me that you are still having drop in pseudo-meetings on
Mondays, just not advertising them.
I understand that if something doesn't work it needs to be reevaluated
and changed, but the meetings are an important outreach to the community
and a chance for developers to bring up issues (both internal devs and
community devs) that need wider discussion (such as GSoC).
If having a meeting at a specific time is too restrictive then perhaps
Mondays should become an official (and advertised) "meeting day" and
then anyone can chime in throughout the day, new developers can be
announced, issues brought up, etc... This should help encourage
participation from the community. And perhaps a Google Doc (or
equivalent) could be maintained as a list of issues/points to be
considered during the day (open to the community to add issue/point
suggestions) and updated as the day progresses.
Hopefully this shows that weekly meetings are still valued by the
community and can be improved so that they are valuable for everyone to
attend.
Thank you for your consideration.

Hi,
The Monday (developers) and the Tuesday (modules) meetings are currently on
hold. The Monday one has very little quorum and is rarely useful.
The Tuesday talks (module meetings) are quite a joy actually and I will
miss talking to the modules owners 1:1. But they have always being more
like a healthy check then a permanent solution. What we need instead is to
make sure the modules are properly structured and can operate autonomously.
But this is a separate topic.
I have a new idea on how to do the weekly communication of the ongoing
module and projects:
* We keep the weekly online page in devtalk for the weekly notes [1].
* Developers keep adding their weekly reports there.
* Everyone adds relevant announcements there
* [new] Modules and projects then add their notes there as well,
asynchronously.
* [new] At the end of Mondays I do a final pass in the page and post it
here.
[1] - https://devtalk.blender.org/t/15-february-2021-upcoming/17475.
Any feedback is welcome.
Best regards,
-Dalai-

That seems somewhat strange and out of the blue (at least for me), the lack of
reasoning for putting them on hold especially for the Tuesday ones you seem
fond of is concerning, what am i missing here?
