0️⃣ Who is here today? Comment in the thread to introduce yourself. We’ll keep the meeting open for 24 hours to allow for all time zones.

larowlan	Hi
catch	Sort of here.
bbrala	im getting back into things, life is slowing down 🙂

1️⃣ What topics do you want to discuss? Post in this thread and we’ll open threads for them as appropriate.

quietone	Change to monthly meetings
larowlan	Process for stepping down from the committee

2️⃣ Action items

2️⃣.1️⃣ Approve minutes for previous meeting(s)

quietone	The minutes for this still need to be parsed,#3482661: Coding Standards Meeting Wednesay 2024-10-23 0900 UTC
quietone	I updated the issue with the minutes, so it is ready for review.

2️⃣.2️⃣ TBD

3️⃣ Switch to monthly meetings

quietone	Initially fortnight helped deal with the backlog and the challenges of re-activating the committee.
quietone	Now that work is done we should switch to less often and monthly is the standard, so lets go to monthly.
larowlan	This feels sensible
catch	Makes sense to me there are usually only 1-3, issues to discuss so if that goes to 3-6 it would still be manageable.
quietone	That would move the next meeting to the 1st week of December. Do we want to keep it on the first week, or switch to a different week?
borisson_	For december that would be fine, but I doubt a lot of people would be around in the first week of january 🙂
bbrala	agree with monthly

4️⃣ Process for stepping down from the committee

larowlan	I don't feel I'm giving the role the time it requires and feel it would be best to make way so someone else can
quietone	Thanks for your contributions!
quietone	And thanks for bringing this up. What policy do we have for appointments?
larowlan	I think some of us were added as part of being in the TWG
larowlan	I guess we could ask for applicants
quietone	So, like subsystem maintainers, we self nominate for stepping down?
larowlan	I guess so?
quietone	Does this also mean to step down from the TWG?
larowlan	I think that is via role as FM, there are no meetings etc for that, so I don't feel like I'm letting anyone down
quietone	Thanks for making that clear.
quietone	That means, that the process is that the person who wants to step done does at their own request, which means to open an issue.
quietone	The proposed job description will change that to a yearly renewal process.
bbrala	all understandable @larowlan 🙂

5️⃣ Coding standards team job description

quietone	Work on this is at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1612Bx_qBQJaqkkNeAvoeHZjBg3QBKybq8aXA...
quietone	One thing to be aware of here is that this is defining an initial term of two years with annual renewal.
quietone	This also needs to be moved to the committee resources. And that needs a URL.
quietone	What should the URL be?
quietone	Do we all agree to the job description?
bbrala	description seems pretty fine, read it earlier also.Annual renewal, how would that work. One gets asked to renew and if not removed? I mean, this could mean less inactive people ofcourse, which could be good. Also; this would also mean we should keep a membership list with join date on the project page opr a doc page i think. Keep a list of current and old memebers.
