Propose an agenda item
We'd love the agenda to reflect what the community wants to discuss. Please reply to this thread with topics you'd like to cover, ideally with a sentence or two of context and roughly how much time you think it needs. To keep the meeting focused, we'll include some agenda topics from the replies received for discussion as time permits and include anything else in the list of potential topics for future meetings.
A few notes so the meeting stays productive with a larger group:
- Most decisions happen asynchronously on the forums, Slack, and GitHub. The meeting is for discussion and alignment, so you can participate fully asynchronously if you wish or cannot attend a particular timeslot.
- We'll use a raised-hand queue and chat for questions and discussions. Please take note of your position in the queue and try to avoid collisions with others when speaking.
- We'll post the notes from the meeting here on the forums afterwards. Note that we're piloting AI note-taking tools but won't be recording the meeting, and you can ask us to turn them off at any time.
- We follow the Swift Code of Conduct. This is a public meeting, so please keep discussion to public, non-confidential topics.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
