GUI & In Web Browsers Weekly Sync 2018-11-05

[lidel]

Agenda for next week's sync in editable hackpad at https://hackmd.io/xkYUA74ER1iA3JjpBGdoGQ#

• We write down our updates before the sync to save time and let others to prepare questions
  • Think if there is something you want to demo. Demos are cool.
• Feel free to add your own agenda items (questions, things to discuss, links others should see)
  • It is encouraged to do so even if you can't attend!
• Link to Zoom call will be posted on #ipfs-in-web-browsers and #ipfs-gui

Note: the sync time changed stays the same for one more week, we meet on Monday 5th @ 10:30 PM UTC

Where can I find a link to join this call? The meeting invite says to look in IRC, which I'm not on.

[fsdiogo]

We usually post the link in IRC a minute or two before the call begins.

I suspect the link is not set in stone because sometimes @olizilla hosts the call and sometimes @lidel does.

[terichadbourne]

Apologies if these are naive questions, but is having IRC necessary to find the call useful in general? Could a Slack channel replace the way IRC is used right now, so folks who don't otherwise use IRC don't need to join it to get the link?

No, it's not useful at all. We should start doing like the JS Core Dev team and put the link here as soon as possible so people can hop in the call.

Not really, we want to make the calls public and accessible to everyone. To join the PL Slack you must be invited, as opposed to IRC that you're free to register, so the best way to go really is to drop the link in the issue!

ah, we were so close.. never a dull day 🙃

• Bad news: entire GUI WG has a scheduling conflict on 7th: we are unable to move the other meeting as it is with an external organization.
• Good news: it is one-time thing.

Question: how do we solve this?

• Make the sync on Monday 5th @ 10:30AM UTC (reuse old time for one more week)
  • downside: @terichadbourne won't be able to attend
• Move the sync +1h to 5PM UTC
  • downside: we may be drained after 2h workshop

[terichadbourne]

It's totally fine to do the next one without me. I don't want you all staying late.

Alright, to keep things simple, I've updated community calendar:

• next sync will be on Monday 5th @ 10:30 PM UTC (to match the old local time for EU folks)
• we will try new time week later, on 2018-11-14 : Wednesdays @ 4:00 PM UTC
