+1. Thanks Dumitru for proposing this.
I'd prefer it NOT replacing the weekly IRC status update, which is more
frequent and less formal.
As you mentioned we can focus on more in-depth discussions in this
monthly meeting such as making design decision for a complex problem. I
think it may be good to have a meeting agenda document to collect topics
before each meeting. If there are no topics proposed a day before the
meeting we can cancel it for that month.
Thanks,
Han
I agree with everything Han said. I also think that if we can post
recordings from this meeting (maybe to ovn.org?), it would be good for
those who are unable to attend.
