Hi everyone, At the XFS BoF during LSFMMBPF last month, I restated my longstanding opinion that given my experiences trying to get online fsck designed and merged, our feedback cycles are far too long; and my lament that we do not have a community conference call where people can discuss what they're working on, ask for new projects, etc. As part of stepping back from an active development role to focus on leading my team, I declare that I will host open office hours for people to: 0. Run down the bug list and QA testing results 1. Drop by and talk about whatever xfs-related issues they have 2. Find things for themselves to work on 3. Inquire about adjacent work being done by other people 4. Engage in transfers of information and institutional knowledge My intent is to have a defined hour every week where anyone can drop in. However, given the global scope of the xfs participants, I declare that anyone who cannot make whatever time I pick should contact me to schedule an appointment. The first office hours will be on 11 June 2024 at 8am PDT (aka 1500 GMT) https://oracle.zoom.us/j/92930934955?pwd=wsEYPkj7WOpvIT0E1Bb0cCBaHvj8JW.1 Immediate topics: I want to give away a bunch of projects: the ones that have been festering in djwong-dev; and the ones merely written down on paper. Also the actual scheduling for this meeting since the biggest blocker has been the near impossibility of finding any good timeslot. --Darrick
