Hi Ryan, > It seems to me that you are still having drop in pseudo-meetings on Mondays, just not advertising them.
I'm not sure what you mean by pseudo-meetings. Monday just happens to be the day we set as a deadline to post the weekly notes from the different modules and projects. You can check the edit history of the posts and see how it is written by multiple developers asynchronously. > The meetings are an important outreach to the community and a chance for developers to bring up issues. The best outreach place are actually the modules. And the modules are encouraged to have meetings with the people involved in them. Some modules are more active than others. But either way you should always be able to reach out to the modules if there is something you want to help with.
