Information on open Ockam Community meetings. Each meeting has its own agenda which is published before the meeting. Minutes will be posted in the agenda document after the meeting concludes, including topics discussed, decisions made, and future items for discussion.
We plan to follow a similar format to that of the WebAssembly Community Group, which is itself based on standards meetings. If you aren't familiar with how such meetings work, this paper on standards committee participation for newbies is worth a look!
We differ from the standards process in that Ockam reserves final say on decisions pertaining to its products, but our hope is that by involving the community from start to finish, we can find broad consensus on decisions that are made.
There is also discussion happening in Ockam's Community on GitHub Discussions
Meetings will be announced in advance via PR on this repository. The announcement will include meeting details, such as the Zoom meeting URL, date/time, etc. It will also include the agenda for the meeting, which can be extended by opening a PR with the topic you wish to have put on the agenda.
Meetings recur on the last Wednesday of every month at 1pm Pacific Local Time.
Meetings will follow this rough outline:
- Introduce attendees
- Quick status update from Ockam
- Review the agenda, determine if changes are required, and agree on them if any are proposed
- Walk through the agenda, item by item
- Determine any action items and/or future agenda topics
- Wrap up
Agenda items can be added by anyone, by opening a PR against the meeting announcement and adding your item to the list.
If an agenda item is a proposed feature, or other significant change, the champion of that proposal should include any reference material needed for other attendees to prepare. It is not acceptable to propose an agenda item that requires preparation less than 7 days prior to the next meeting; such proposals should go under the list of future agenda items.
