I've set up a meeting at
https://meet.jit.si/octave-dev-2020-06-09
(Yes, it's not the FSF jitsi instance that I was was planning to use --
I'm having some login issues there, so I'm switching to this one instead.)
We'll start a little less than an hour from now at 17:00 UTC and I plan
to have the meeting run for an hour. I know that Carnë has something to
present for 5-10 minutes and I can talk briefly about the delay in
releasing version 6. We'll also reserve some time at the end for
discussion and questions.
If you would like to present some info, please try to keep it short and
plan on no more than 5 minutes with a few more for questions.
We don't know how many people might join. If there are technical issues
I'll take it as a learning experience.
Please mute your microphone if you are not speaking.
Thanks,
jwe
I think the conference call went very well. We should have one every month.
JWE: I would vote to remove the slowdown on widows, and get the first version of octave 6 out there -- with the understanding that 6.2 should by ready soon (1 month).
I say this because there are usually some small fixups to do after the first release of a big change. This way we can see what shows up at this point and then do a good release latter.
