[Experiment] CouchDB Monthly Developer Meeting
Hello everybody,
In the past we’ve done two in-person developer summits with great success, both from a team-building but also from a technical discussion point of view. But these were ~1/2 a decade a part and took quite a bit to organise.
Given that meeting in-person continues to to be a pain and given that we all learned how to do video calls in the past few years, I’d like to propose a recurring synchronous meeting where we can discuss CouchDB’s development in a different format than we do at the moment.
There are a number of high-level features that we’d need larger input on but that are have enough moving parts that it would make sense to discuss face to face (via video/audio chat).
In detail:
- we run a monthly video/audio meeting of ~90 minute length where we can hash out CouchDB development topics
- in the beginning, I’d like to dedicate each meeting to a single topic, just so we don’t get distracted too much (I have a short-list of proposals for topics, but that’s for a later day, I’m sure we all do :), maybe a topic needs multiple meetings, maybe we have time for two topics per meeting, but let’s be clear and limited on the agenda, so everybody can prepare with minimal effort
- each topic discussed will have a reasonably complete written proposal that folks can read through in preparation
- if any one can’t make any particular meeting, no problem, there is no mandatory attendance, and we are not making any project binding decisions in those meetings
- ideally, we keep decent notes so that folks can catch up, and maybe we can do a recording of it all for posterity
My suggestion would be that pick a date and time in the somewhat near future and then stick to that date and time on a monthly basis.
Since it is (northern hemisphere) summer, it is possible that you, dear reader, won’t be able to attend the inaugural edition, just select something that works from the next iteration onwards.
I put up a date and time selection poll, it is aiming for late-EU and early US-West compatibility since I expect that’s where most of the folks are going to be: https://nuudel.digitalcourage.de/fUQFofPoezvvz9ev
I’m looking forward to seeing you all :)

Thanks all for coming, this was fun! :)
Find here the meeting notes complete with a link to the recording in video and audio: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-LZ0KoDkS8wvTBOV0JtWEC3qI252H8_9QsxoDvqXNp4
The notes document is set so anyone can comment if anything should be corrected.
If anyone has any questions, do not hesitate, but please ask them here :)

Also note that this was not a formal CouchDB meeting where project decisions were made, those can only happen on this mailing list.
The meeting found consensus around the top handful features that should make for a good CouchDB 4.0 release and we’ll use future meetings to deep dive into those topics specifically. But all that will come out of that will recommendations for this mailing list and none of this is a foregone conclusion.

Thanks all for putting in your meeting preferences.
By random draw, Wednesday, August 3rd, 16:00 UTC is the date/time for our first Monthly Developer Meeting \o/
The two things to sort out are:
1. the conference platform to choose. I can volunteer a paid-for Zoom.us account that allows for up to 100 participants and recording of the meeting. Anyone with a web browser can participate.
2. what do we talk about? :D — As outlined in the proposal, we should pick one topic and go deep on it.
I suggest we discuss “What is CouchDB 4.0 going to look like”. This likely includes some introductory discussions about various features we’d like to see. We can then discuss those in mo detail in later meetings.

This is a great idea. I won't be able to make the first one, but look
forward to attending some of the others.
