A new topic to add: moderation of Discourse forums.
We’ve been getting a lot of spam recently. We could use volunteers to help moderate the forums. It’d be a good time to discuss what guidelines we need and what settings we can change through the Discourse interface. (cc: @breckbaldwin, @seantalts)
Dev meetings as listed on the schedule, they are setup to encourage them to go long into breaks/lunch.
Tues/Wed
11:30am for an hour abutting Lunch
3:30pm for an hour, abutting end of day/happy hour
Friday 1-2pm but that is more constrained.
Setting up hangouts makes sense. I don’t have the cycles to make it happen.
@stevebronder made a poll for the topics. I just noticed that the poll required to click Vote for each topic separately and it was not enough to click vote below the last topic I chose. I hope others have not made the same mistake, but it is likely as the last topics have much more votes. Please check your votes and we can then assign the topics first for certain dates. Also please vote if you want to participate via video. The topics with more 4+ people will have priority in scheduling a fixed time and the topics with less people can be more ad-hoc.
@Matthijs@rok_cesnovar@enetsee@tadej and I want to talk about stanc3 compiler optimizations I think on Thursday or Friday as well (based on Rok and Tadej only being here those two days).
The trick will be finding time - on Friday it looks like the sparse matrix stuff is supposed to be 1-2pm and we don’t have other dev time outside that. I think the optimization stuff will take longer than 30 minutes and I imagine the sparse matrices will as well. Can do the sparse matrices on Wednesday 1130-1230 and the stanc3 optimization lib on Friday 1-2pm?
