[SAC] Meeting!

[Regina Obe]

As discussed on IRC. 

Thursday Oct 12th UTC 19:00  will be our first meeting.

Attached is the .ics to add to your calendar.

I copied over the agenda from the last 2016.  I assume those still need to be discussed.  Also added a minor intro item, mostly since I'm new and don't know what everyone is in charge of.

Thanks,

I don't expect everyone to be there every time. Part of the idea of having them regularly scheduled is that it won't take work to call a meeting and find a time. You either can make or can't, if the preset times stop working then we revote for a new time (hopefully only a couple of times a year). We could set a quorum of say at least 5 people, anything below that regularly suggests we need a new time.

It's looking like UTC 19:00 Thursdays is pretty good as a general time, even holds up when strk goes to NZST.

Alternate being UTC 15:30 Mondays (not so great for NZST)

So hows does this sound...
UTC 19:00 Thursday Oct 5
UTC 15:30 Monday Oct 16
UTC 19:00 Thursday Nov 2
etc...


Question: Is anyone willing to step up as the facilitator. Basically, send meeting reminder (or setup calendar), collect agenda items, run the meeting, and post the notes. Traditionally this might be called the "Secretary" on a committee. I'm thinking this is a good role for someone who isn't a primary admin, and is less opinionated/invested in the topics.

Thanks,
Alex
