Hello, everyone! I believe it's worth discussing whether hosting OpenDAL Community Sync on a regular basis is a good idea. While I've shared this concept with individuals on [discord], I think the mailing list would be a more appropriate forum for discussion.
Here my current idea for this sync meeting: - Style: text or video meeting Attending, recording, and archiving text meetings is easier. However, I believe that video meetings are more appealing and can help establish connections between developers. The [Iceberg Community Sync] serves as a good example. It's important to consider that most of the OpenDAL PPMC members and committers are not native English speakers. - Time: two/three/four weeks The meeting will last at least one hour for all attendees. However, we want to ensure that we do not overburden our participants. So two weeks is two heavy for a small community like OpenDAL. Four weeks is too long and may coincide with the same time of the month when some members of OpenDAL are unable to attend, such as during the first or last week. So I perfer to have three weeks like Iceberg does. - Content >From my experience with the Iceberg community, their sync meetings typically >include highlights since the last meeting, release updates, and discussions. >It appears that we can directly adopt these ideas. - Tools I feel like Google Meet is a good choice (based iceberg experience, haha). But using discord seems easier for us. Maybe we need to have a try first. I plan to have a private meeting with @psiace first and share the feedback here. - Process All our meeting will be recorded, in english, and with AI generated summary. We will share the summary with maillist, and maybe in blog (I'm not sure). Please feel free to ask any additional questions. I am very excited to meet with you!
