Re: Online Developer Meeting - Tuesday July 7 @ 14:00 UTC

[John W. Eaton]

I have a meeting set up at

  https://meet.jit.si/octave-dev-2020-07-07

(Yes, it's not the FSF jitsi instance that I was was planning to use -- 
I'm still having login issues there, so I'm switching to this one instead.)

We'll start about 45 minutes from now at 14:00 UTC and I plan to have 
the meeting run for an hour.  I know that Kai would like to discuss our 
experience so far with using Discourse instead of mailing lists I can 
talk briefly about the status of the version 6 release.  We'll also 
reserve some time at the end for discussion and questions.

If you would like to present some info, please try to keep it short and 
plan on no more than 5 minutes with a few more for questions.

We don't know how many people might join.  If there are technical issues 
I'll take it as a learning experience.

Please mute your microphone if you are not speaking.  And as I learned 
last time, using headphones can help a lot to avoid feedback if you are 
speaking.

Thanks,

jwe
