Other Items
A note on the timing of the call, and sustainability:
This call takes place between 01:30 and 02:30 in Japan to allow North American and European participants to collaborate. However, this makes it difficult for the General Manager to attend. There is a request to action one of two things:
- Move the meeting to a North America / Asia schedule, complementary with the other OpenChain Monthly Specification and Education Call (Europe / Asia) on 3rd Wednesdays or
- A community volunteer to run the meeting on a regular basis
Issue to be discussed further.
Coming Next
We will be following up on the activities outlined above on the mailing lists, and we will continue our regular series of calls and meetings throughout the year.
