If we were to do a regular online Fediverse meeting —

[j12t@j12t.social]

@reiver A lot of it has been focusing on the kinds of things standards org do — chartering working groups producing reports, getting consensus on prioritization for standards work going forward etc. But there are also community updates and things like that.

What @andypiper and I tried to do was more a developer networking kind of meeting, where new developers can ask questions, or people can show off what they are currently working on. Not FediForum-style “product demos” but “look at this piece of code that I got to work this week” kind of show and tells.

Happy to team up on something like this, maybe @andypiper is still up to it, too.

I think this could be a good format — ActivityPub Office Hours!

@j12t @reiver this reminds me that we should have a web tf meeting

@julian @j12t @andypiper @reiver

OMG THAT!!!

I know I’m a non-developer butting in, but would it be less work and better promo if you had a rotation, saaayyy… of sporadically available community convening types who could just join a casual rotation of hosts for two-hour drop in chats?

Publish a list of date/time/meeting link and who the host or what the topic is?

[julian@community.nodebb.org]

I would be happy to sponsor (NodeBB has Google Workspace), but FOSS hosts like jitsi are also good.

Representation from the Threadiverse would be great. rimu@mastodon.nzoss.nz recently held a Piefed office hours that was convenient for both he and I (8pm GMT).

Dear lord I fly to Halifax tomorrow for a few days of 3-D urbanism, but I'm now scribbling out some minimal framework thoughts on a Fedi-Civic-Tech-Hacknight idea. They're all over meetup.com, we can do this.

@julian @rimu @reiver @j12t @evan

Who's got a federated team calendar? Publicly read-only, approved/invited users can authenticate and post events, blabs its reminders out on the timelines?

[benpate@mastodon.social]

@reiver Yes. Whenever you do it.

[thisismissem@hachyderm.io]

@reiver please not the first friday of the month, omg.

[box464@mastodon.social]

@reiver Sunday afternoon (CST) but if it’s just once a month it’s easy to schedule in. Later in the day always better.

[islekcaganmert@mastodon.social]

@reiver Sunday oder Saturday works for me.

[evan@activitypub.space]

reiver@mastodon.social so, are we doing this?
