Now that most folks have filled out the forms, it looks like the winning
dates are 2029-09-26 and 2023-09-27. Among those dates, there was a
pretty even split between preferring a single day (with 9 votes), and
preferring two days (with 8 votes).
Let's plan on meeting on both:
- 2023-09-26: from 10am to 2pm CDT (UTC-5)
- 2023-09-27: from 10am to 2pm CDT (UTC-5)
The meeting will be hosted on Zoom, and I'll email folks separately
off-list with the meeting URL and passcode to join.
If you have any topics you'd like to discuss or lead, make sure to add
them to the "Topics" sheet at:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EnhmTeEqRBlEI2pMAO3oZ4rO1xEwBzYp2vS4CMtvge8
Between now and then, please also feel free to share any thoughts on how
we should schedule topics, organize note-takers, make sure the discussion
keeps flowing and includes everybody, etc.
See you then!
Thanks,
Taylor
