Lang Team Meetings

announcements
1

This is a thread tracking announcing the working group sync meetings. These meetings are a time for the lang-team members and working groups participants to synchronize. The working group will present their current status and upcoming plans and get feedback on the overall direction. The goal is generally not to debate technical minutia, though that might happen too. =)

As a member of the general public, these meetings offer a way for you to keep track of the general progress and direction of each active working group. Before each meeting, a write-up will be posted by the group describing the current status. The meetings themselves are recorded and posted later on YouTube for your viewing pleasure.

The full meeting dates and times can be found in lang team calendar. Each meeting will have an invite that includes a link to Zoom. Feel free to come in and observe if you like. (To reduce scheduling churn, we generally hold the meetings at the same basic time every week, but there may be exceptions).

OK we went into a bit of a hiatus here. However, the next working group sync meeting is tomorrow, April 17, 2019 (calendar event). The meeting will (as always) begin with some light triage.

The topic of the meeting will be discussion around async-await and primarily this issue:

I may have spoken too soon. Take this with a grain of salt: We didn't do the best job of planning out our agenda last week. I'll maybe update later.

Video posted here and dropbox paper document available here – we did wind up covering unused arguments after all! (As well as very briefly touching on the policy around fcp etc.)

Next meeting is today. The topics up for discussion are:

  • Async-await syntax resolution plan – we have a general plan for how to resolve the question of async-syntax, but we’ve not communicated it (surprise!). We are going to touch base on the plan and who will communicate what and where.
  • Meta working group kickoff proposal – plan to kick off a group to discuss how working groups should function.

Apologies

Sorry for not posting meetings in a while! Life got crazy. Also, in the upcoming couple of weeks I will be on vacation. Due to the specifics of how Zoom recording works, we may not be able to record those meetings either.
