Dolmen meeting

[Gbury]

After some suggestions by e.g. @c-cube , I was wondering if people that use Dolmen, participate in its development and/or anyone else, would be interested in having one (or more) video-conference meeting(s) about Dolmen. The main idea would be to enable more open and free discussions about Dolmen, including:

• the current status of Dolmen (what it can and cannot do, and why)
• the evolution of Dolmen (what it will or won't do)
• discussions about the performance of Dolmen (and subsequent monologues where I describe how I abuse the fact that I know a bit too much about how the ocaml compiler works)
• any other random questions about Dolmen
• demonstrations/discussions about how to use Dolmen for people who might be interested but would like precisions and/or some more help to start
• anything else that we'd typically be able to discussion randomly when meeting one another but can't because of the current situation

If it works, it might even become a regular thing, like the monthly dolmen meeting (or the DOLmen Monthly ENcounter = DolMEn, because a project's worth is clearly related to how many bad puns its authors can cram in it !). So this post is here to gather some written feedback before I try to find a date for the first try.

I think it is a very good idea. I believe it is better to decide the regularity once we see how much things we have to discuss each time. One additional point can be to compare how we use dolmen and see if some part should be factorized in dolmen or removed from dolmen and duplicated in each users.

I would enjoy such a discussion.

Here is a doodle to try and pick a date for the meeting : https://doodle.com/poll/mp4ishag3cxxkzzp?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link
For now I created two slots per day : mid-afternoon, and evening (Paris time), don't hesitate to comment if that's too restrictive for you.

The three hours slot is a little too long in the afternoon, We can start with a 1h-1h30 first meeting I hope.

Sure, the slots are more of a general window for the meeting rather than the duration of the whole meeting, ^^
