virtual short F2F meeting
by Scholger, Martina (martina.scholger＠uni-graz.at) 22 Dec '20

22 Dec '20

Dear all, We have a date for the virtual short F2F meeting. It is January 29 to 30. This is how it works: The North Americans start on Friday afternoon at 12am PST / 3pm EST The Europeans continue on Saturday morning at 10am CET The full Council meets on Saturday morning for US/CA, afternoon for Europeans. The original plan would mean 6am PST / 9am EST / 3pm CET. I'd suggest moving this back an hour or two since that seems very early for Janelle. Let's discuss this during our next call on January 14. Unfortunately Meaghan will not be able to join us on those dates, but there was no doodle option which suited everyone. Best, Martina

Dear all, We have a decision for the new meeting times for the monthly Council call in 2021.

Please check the Google calendar for the meeting times (Janelle and Helena - you should have access to the calendar). As always I will send the agenda and the zoom link a few days in advance. Best, Martina

ticket assignments and mentors
by Bauman, Syd 15 Dec '20

15 Dec '20

[Janelle and Helena — every month 1 person from Council is the “ticket triage” person. This person pays attention to new or otherwise unassigned tickets (actually called “issues”) on GitHub, and assigns them to one or more Council members; might also assign labels and milestone to each. This month I am the ticket triager.] IIRC at our last meeting we did not decide on mentors for our new members, instead deferring that decision to January. Does that mean I should not assign tickets to Janelle and Helena, either? My instinct is that I should go ahead and assign tickets to our new members now (so as to avoid forgetting or having unassigned tickets; besides, one of them requires a native Spanish speaker :-), with the understanding that until they have each gone through some orientation with their mentor next month, there is no expectation of actually tackling the tickets yet. As soon as they are ready, the tickets would be waiting for them, though. Any objections?

Dear all, I've set up a doodle to coordinate the meeting times for the monthly Council meetings in 2021. I suggest to stick with the second week of each month (2nd Mon/2nd Tue etc.). In the doodle I have put in the January dates as an example. Please fill in the doodle by 2020-12-14: https://doodle.com/poll/486ypeh2nkzgtp9v?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link Best, Martina

virtual short F2F meeting January/February
by Scholger, Martina (martina.scholger＠uni-graz.at) 04 Dec '20

04 Dec '20

Dear Council, During the three days virtual F2F meeting in October we agreed on a VSF2F (virtual short face-to-face meeting) in late January or early February: * US/CA meet Friday afternoon / evening (~3 hours) * Europeans meet Saturday morning (~3 hours) * Council convenes as a whole on Saturday (morning for US/CA, afternoon for Europeans) (~4 hours) Please fill in the doodle: https://doodle.com/poll/8958wr5fqecfqxne?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link For our new members: In addition to the monthly meetings we have in person meetings twice a year for three days (one in spring and one before or after the TEI Conference). This year we had two very successful meetings, but it is not possible to meet online for full three days, also because of the time difference. Since we do not expect in person meetings in 2021 (at least not in the first half of the year) we agreed to hold an additional meeting in January/February. Best, Martina
