Steering Committee(?) Meeting

Thanks, yes I remember, I have an account connected to tiddlywiki. I have not yet tried one of those audio rooms. I did not reestablish after moving to my new PC.

I was TonyM but updated to match my discourse TW_Tones

I wasn’t aware you could connect Tiddlywiki to Discord, that’s neat!

Maybe connecting an empty edition to the discord channel during the TW commitee meeting would allow the hosts to document whatever is discussed and show it, since Discord does support video calling.

Official Tiddlywiki Discord Server

Connect via a browser or with the app.

I don’t think there is a way yet to connect a Discord server to a TW instance… neat idea tho.

Sorry! I meant uncomfortable with the name. I made an edit in the original to show that.

Is there a date and time already. … I’d vote for Saturday, where I could make it work at probably any time. … I’m GMT + 2 according to: https://greenwichmeantime.com/time/austria/vienna/

I’m also in Pacific Standard Time (-8). I’m open to anything after 0230 UTC.

This topic was also on my mind so I’m glad someone proposed a meeting about it.

Before the pandemic I was involved in a cohousing housing development group and we used sociocracy to form our structure and our decision making. I feel that might be a good fit for this group. We referred to each of our committees as “circles” ( General Circle, Finance Circle, Communication Circle, etc ). I’m not too familiar how often sociocracy is used in open source software development, but one key area is holding meetings is distinguishing who is a member who can make decisions versus someone who is merely observing. For this group I suggest making the barrier to becoming a member rather low.

My day-job had a pivot from management, and Friday got really busy. I think Saturday would work well for more people, and give me a bit more time to prepare notes. In fact, I think 2 smaller sessions would work better to allow more people to attend from different time zones. As this is an initial “gathering interest” meeting, I don’t think I’ll record it. But I plan on recording future meetings.

TiddlyWiki5 #tools-for-thought Community Sync 00001

We will use the #general and the #General Voice channels. I’ll block out an hour of my time for each slot, and then see what happens. :slight_smile:

@joshuafontany On this occasion I can’t make it, bummer. But do please consider the points in my post that are a good fit Steering Committee(?) Meeting - #3 by TW_Tones

  • Particularly
  • The second time suits me well, time of day but often Sundays are when I catch up with friends, or do “bush walks”, as I am on this one.

Best of luck

Was hoping to be able to make this but alas life has happened. :slight_smile: just busier than i was anticipating.

We had a very small TW5 sync on Saturday morning, Eric Shulman, Mario, & myself.

Eric showed off some of his redone TW5 TiddlyTools.

  • Have a wall of clocks each set to a team member’s timezone & labeled with their name.
  • Have a Calendar view with all active timers, alerts, tiddlers-created, & tiddlers-modified as colored swatches on each day-card. Open to view full list-widget ui.
  • Play YouTube videos inset in the TW UI & a whole bunch of cool stuff.
  • UI to manipulate every aspect of the Wiki’s Theme/Skin (no more mucking about css by hand to start off experiments).

We will have another “TiddlyWiki #tools-for-thought Sync” in 2 weeks. I want to work with Eric (@Xyzzy on Discord) to bring these new tools to the community’s attention over the next few months.

I’m sorry I missed it.

TBH it was largely I was late and had no idea what I was supposed to do to log onto it & ran overtime :woozy_face:.

I do think next time it would be great if the “advert for it”

  • layout the steps to be able to connect?

One thing that I think interesting is to visit to primarily “witness”, rather than necessarily feel you need to have a “contribution”? That might increase attendance to good effect?

Anyway, I sure missed an @EricShulman thing I would love to have seen!

A comment, TT

I suggest a stirring committee. Very similar but more troublesome and with more tea.

@EricShulman
When do you plan to make them publically accessible? Any screenshot of the above tools available

@EricShulman is a very modest man.

I’m just putting the finishing touches on some documentation and last minute testing and debugging before publishing sometime in the next week or so.

Exciting!

Work has gotten really busy, and I am visiting my family in Hawaii for the last few weeks. I do want to pick back up on these TW Community Sync meetings once I am back in Portland area next week.

TBH we need an Eric Shulman section … image

Well that means you are possibly more than half way to Sydney Australia :nerd_face:

Any updates regarding this @EricShulman
