Lens Google hangout - weekly/bi-weekly

[Yash Sharma <ya...@gmail.com>]

Hi Team,
I have this suggestion that is very helpful for the community as well as
existing members. We have tried this in other projects and have had a
decent response so far.

Actually, I have been caught up for past few weeks and it becomes really
difficult for me to contribute back until i am able to post patches (am
sure others are facing this as well) but i might be able to help others
with suggestions etc even if i am not contributing code.

Lets have a hangout for open questions or blockers where everyone is
working/stuck on and others can pitch in for their thoughts/advice.

This will speed up dev and help newbies with a platform to introduce
themselves or express their interests and get guidance from expects.

Thoughts?

- Via mobile. Excuse brevity.

Sure would love to.
We can decide a day and time, and I would circulate a reminder a day before
and ask for topics for discussions.

Would create a google doc for datewise tracking of topics and MOM.

- Via mobile. Excuse brevity.

We can try out couple of times. Having a preset rough agenda would be good.

I think having one person shepherding the group would help. Yash, you want
to do this ?

Not a bad idea. We do this for Falcon and Pig. They are useful if we have quorum.
