Firstly, that was an incredible hackathon in Morocco -- the Canopy posts on 
http://canopy.mirage.io <http://canopy.mirage.io/> with the daily hacklist were 
great, and I greatly enjoyed merging all the new libraries into OPAM repository 
:-)

It looks like tomorrow's video call is going to be tricky since many people are 
double booked due to the California <-> UK timezone shift that leaves us a mere 
7 hours adrift.

So for tomorrow, we're going to try an experimental meeting format:

- Everyone push any updates you have to Canopy as a brief paragraph or two.  
Mine is up at http://canopy.mirage.io/Posts/Bulk-build 
<http://canopy.mirage.io/Posts/Bulk-build> for example
- You can do this push by:
 - Fork https://github.com/hannesm/canopy-data 
<https://github.com/hannesm/canopy-data> to your own Github
 - Write a brief paragraph in Posts/, e.g. like 
https://github.com/hannesm/canopy-data/pull/3/files 
<https://github.com/hannesm/canopy-data/pull/3/files> for mine
 - Send a PR to canopy-data and merge it yourself if you have access
- We gather in #mirage in Freenode IRC at 4pm GMT tomorrow (Wednesday) and have 
a quick sync up chat online, and the results are also written into Canopy.
- If there are things that require a video call, we can schedule a smaller 
group to go through it later.

This is still an experiment, but the Canopy model is really encouraging -- we 
can push ongoing progress to a git repository and have it appear on the website 
nice and fast.  It's also self-hosted using Mirage, which is a big deal to push 
us forward into using our own infrastructure.

We'll need to keep refining Canopy to make it work for us.  I was wondering 
about a few things Enguerrand/Thomas:
- how do we date posts? Is it just the commit date at the moment?
- should we add tags, or is that just the subdirectory in canopy-data?
- whats remaining to get it working as a Xen unikernel instead of Unix?  Just 
git push?

If people are interested, I also have a few OPAM reporting scripts that could 
output in Canopy format, if you'd like a "OPAM libraries this week roundup" 
there too.  That unifies our changelog scripts too...

Also, I'd like to thank Amir very very much for his manual labours in 
maintaining the Mirage meeting notes so studiously for so long. I'm hoping that 
as our community grows, the Canopy approach will reduce the workload on him and 
spread it out among all of us.  If the IRC format meeting doesn't work out, we 
can just go back to the normal Jitsi meetings, or work out some rotation so 
that we get the best of both worlds.

Thoughts welcome, and see you on IRC tomorrow at 4pm UK time!
