Re: [Tei-council] Council and COVID-19 (was "Re: Paderborn")

Dear all, as sad as it is, we have to cancel our F2F meeting in Paderborn. I also think we should block those days (May 1-3). As for the meeting times: 1-5 pm UTC (= 9-13 EDT, 14-18 BST, 15-19 CET) would work for me, as Peter suggested, or maybe a bit longer since we should also account for a break. For the break-out groups I could also think of the Europeans starting a bit earlier and then discussing the results in the full group and then the others continuing after that. For those who haven't been to a F2F meeting yet: at F2F meetings we discuss github issues in smaller groups and come back with our suggestions to the full group where we make a final decision how to continue with the issue.

Nevertheless I think we should try to block those days-as Jessica suggested-and hold longer meetings about 1-5 PM (UTC)? Would that work for most? Best Peter

Hi everyone,

I just found this in my Spam (my TEI emails keep going there, no matter how many of them I rescue!!). I agree with Syd; I personally do not anticipate being willing to travel by the end of April, for any reason.

I'm open to more routine weekly meetings, though I'm also open to reserving the days that would've been our face-to-face for longer sessions, as well.

Hope everyone is doing okay! -j.

(The Fall remains a possibility, but it too may end up being cancelled. Same for Spring 2021. But I have confidence that if modern society has survived as far as Spring 2021 we would be able to meet.) I think we should be proactive (thank you for that word, Meghan) in trying to make up for the loss of the F2F. One suggestion would be start holding regular weekly meetings. The Tue 13:00Z to 14:30Z slot seems to be one that works for everyone, so it might be a good starting point.

Thoughts?

And no, Meaghan, you should not take the Metro. :-(

...

I think I was the only council member to be "proactive" about making my reservations for the F2F meeting. Given the current situation, I'm concerned that I won't be able to take the Metro in DC, much less leave the country at that time. I've canceled my hotel in Paderborn, and I just applied for a "voucher" from Aer Lingus. If we decide to meet later, fantastic. If we decide to meet virtually, it'll be nice to see you on my screen and I'll apply the voucher somehow personally. They have to let us back into Europe eventually, right?
