Let me provide a quick summary of the meetup. I am not aiming to do comprehensive list of things done (as for OrgMeetup), but my thoughts and ideas. - The meetup turned out more like a live-streaming, with possibility for participants to jump in by voice, not just in the chat. - It was over 2 hours, with people jumping in, leaving, more people jumping in, etc - At the end, people who watched said that it was interesting Overall, it was OK for me, but I was hoping to get some people trying to code. I actually did a smaller meetup trial earlier, and that time we did get a patch submitted as a result, so I do not yet conclude that the idea of this meetup to attract more contributors is void. Several takeaways: 1. I should probably engage more with people who join, maybe asking to introduce themselves. Something to encourage people try coding :) 2. If it is going to be mostly me screen sharing, maybe I can record this, as multiple people requested. Also, I am thinking whether the next meetup in July should be different time. 4pm UTC0 timing does not work for China and Australia, and I did see people from Australia expressing interest. Also, fixing timing may not work for some people who have something regular scheduled on Saturdays. Maybe the timing can be floating - I dedicate time to Org development on weekend anyway, it is not just the meetup time, but usually between several hours to the whole day. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode maintainer, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
