Monthly online Calcite meetups

Hi all,

Quite often there are subjects in the dev list, Jira issues, and GitHub
PRs, that trigger long discussions and exchanges among many people. In many
cases, I think that we could reach consensus and better understand each
other if we were holding live discussions.

Online meetups would be also a nice opportunity to meet each other in a
different way than the emails which could possibly help to improve our
relationships.

Although we could decide to hold meetups in a per-case basis it might be
easier to schedule in advance some slots a few times per month were anybody
is invited to join.

We could use these slots for advancing ongoing discussions, brainstorm on
new ideas, review PRs, sign keys, and anything else related to our
community.

To begin with we could try to hold a single meetup per month and see later
on how it goes. It doesn't have to be long and we can decide the duration
based on the availability of the participants at the beginning of each
meetup.

I would like to invite people (committers or not) who would be willing to
join these online meetups to reply to this thread and indicate their
preferences (in UTC): a few intervals that they would be potentially
available. The ranges should be rather large so that it is easier to find
some overlapping among us. For instance:

Stamatis
=======
Option 1: Mon to Fri 10:00 - 16:00
Option 2: Sat, Sun: 7:00 - 21:00

It is definitely not a commitment that the person will join the meetup but
rather a best effort to find slots that would satisfy the majority. So for
me the above means that if the meetup is inside the above intervals there
is a high change that I will join. If it is outside, I might still join but
it will be more difficult.

A few topics that may be suitable for the first meetup would be the
following:

1. Line endings for source files on Windows
2. Remove Kotlin
3. Move CalciteAssert and similar "test framework"
4. On-demand traitset request
5. Volcano's problem with trait propagation: current state and future
Other??

Needless to say that these meetups do not replace the dev list or Jira but
just add another mean to improve our collaboration.

Let me know how does this look!

Very few people replied to this thread so apparently there is no much
interest for setting up recurrent meetups.

Here are my availability times in case we won't use doodle. Do you think
it's useful to record and save those meetings ?

I love the idea. I added my availability times to doodle. I'll try to do my
best to attend the meeting even if it's out of the ranges I specified
anyway.

It might be nice to try, however, it did not survive long the last time :(

An alternative option is to mark checkboxes here:

Note: even though it says "22..28 Dec" I suggest to treat it as "sunday ..
monday"
