Ouch, true! June, not July... Thanks for catching the mistake!

I'm absolutely up for this.

I recently released an Ada ISO Library for country and currency codes[1], I could talk about that if anyone is interested. I also use Ada with Alire on a mac, so I'm interested in listening to that discussion.

It looks like 12pm UTC is 8am EDT. I normally get up around 6AM, so I can make this work.

That should be fine.

If it works in a browser, I have no issues with it.

This is good for the first such meeting. We can see how it goes and adjust in later meetings.

I prefer Saturday over Sunday, but either one works for me.

Hi all and specially A.J.

I will try to make the meeting happen. I made the announcement here [1].

If you would like to participate, save the date! If you have any ideas
or proposals, they are welcome (this goes specially to you A.J., I
assume you would like to present :).

There is a bit more info in the link if anybody else is interested. I
will select the exact time next week.

The proposed time is 12:00 or 13:00 UTC on Sat 2023-06-03.

That's 05:00 or 06:00 in the US Pacific time zone (California et al).

I understand that scheduling meetings for an international audience
is hard. I might join if it's later in the day in my time zone
-- but I wouldn't have much to contribute anyway, so please don't
base your decision on that. But I suspect a lot of people in the
US won't join if it's that early.

* Reboot of the Ada Monthly Meeting

Dear all. Once again, after a long pause, I want to revive the idea
of a monthly meeting to discuss the latest Ada events, projects,
releases or just have a chat about a topic.

I will not repeat what I said in the original message as all points
still stand.

I was happy with the reception that the proposal gathered, alas it
did not take place. However, I was thinking about having one at the
beginning of each month. There would be a pause during summer
(August for most people and potentially September) and FOSDEM.

* When do "we" start?

As I would not like to postpone it much more, I would like to
kickstart it this June. So the first one would be either Saturday 3
or Sunday 4 of July.

I know this sounds a bit rushed. However, if I do not set a date for
me and other people, we will just keep pushing it further and
further. This firt meetup would just be to test the waters and
receive feedback. There would be another one in July and then
summer, after which I hope to get a serious and continuous stream of
meetups.

I was thinking that we could have a meetup at around 12PM UTC
time. It is early but not crazy early for those in USA and late for
those in far east Asia such as Australia. Here in Europe it falls
close to the meal time, which is not ideal... If a lot of people do
not like this time, it can be easily moved a bit earlier or
later... I WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE SOME FEEDBACK ON THIS.

* What to expect?

I would like to keep this meetups sweet and short. I was thinking
maybe 45 minutes long, maybe an hour. That would allow for a quick
round of news, topics and introductions (something like what Maxim
Reznik does but a lot shorter). Then 2 to 4 topics (depending on the
time needed by each one). The topics would be what other and I
already proposed. This would give between 20 to 10 minutes for each
topic.

Once again, this is the starting proposal. Adjustments will be
needed.

* What do I need?

Feedback:
- What is you opinion?
- Do you have a topic/project that you would like to show to the
community?
- Do you like the chosen time?
- Do you like the week of the month?
- Is Jitsi [1] a good enough platform to do the meetings?
- Do you think that 45 min / 1 h is a good enough duration?
- Would you like to participate on Saturday 3 or Sunday 4?

Good idea.

Will have to think about that! Mac issues? Alire vs Mac?

> - Do you like the chosen time?

Fine by me.

> - Do you like the week of the month?

No problem

> - Is Jitsi [1] a good enough platform to do the meetings?

Will have to see!

Certainly OK for the first meeting

> - Would you like to participate on Saturday 3 or Sunday 4?

Either could be managed! Slight preference for Saturday

Any time will be inconvenient for some, but one must be chosen. 12:00 UTC is
fine with me, but during January, the time on the west coast of the US is UTC
-08, and on the east coast of Austrailia, UTC +11. 12:00 UTC corresponds to
04:00 in California and 23:00 in Sydney. 04:00 is rather painful. It might be
better to choose 13:00 UTC (05:00 and 00:00).

Great initiative!

Not yet, but for sure I'd like to show a couple of projects I'm working on.

> - Do you like the chosen time?
No problem.

Goo enough, easy to remember.

> - Is Jitsi [1] a good enough platform to do the meetings?
Let's see how it works.

It could be flexible as it depends on the schedule and Q&A, so let's see.

> - Would you like to participate on Saturday 3 or Sunday 4?
Both are ok, but preferably Saturday.

Thanks Fernando for leading this proposal,

Not right now, happy to just meet people.

Works for me.
- Do you like the week of the month?

No opinion.
- Is Jitsi [1] a good enough platform to do the meetings?

It's worked for me in the past.

Yes, no more than that.
- Would you like to participate on Saturday 3 or Sunday 4?

For this instance, I can only on the 3rd. It should be indifferent normally..

Thanks Fer for leading.
