Hi Bitcoin Mechanic I will attend but I will be looking at Core PR #21377 over the next couple of days and I would encourage other reviewers to review that PR too. If that PR is merged into Core I would strongly recommend any alternative release be fully compatible with the activation parameters in Core.
We can discuss in the meeting what we think the cut off date should be for when Core should no longer be a consideration. Personally I think (and hope) we will see progress on #21377 in the coming days. For the sake of the mailing list Bitcoin Mechanic has set up a meeting to discuss an alternative release to Core with Taproot activation code.
