Portal:Toolforge/Admin/Monthly meeting
The Toolforge monthly meeting is a one-hour engineering-focused meeting to discuss the current state and the future plans of Toolforge, to unblock some decisions or to get everyone on the same page. It is currently held on the second Tuesday of every month at 17:00 CET.
The first Toolforge monthly meeting was held in November 2022, and there had been several informal Toolforge-specific meetings from time to time before that. During its history, the meeting has also been known as the Toolforge council meeting or the Toolforge workgroup meeting. The Toolforge workgroup name is now sometimes used to refer to the bi-weekly check-in meeting held by the Cloud Services team staff who regularly work on the Toolforge project.
This meeting is meant to be open in nature:
- The Wikimedia Cloud Services team (WMCS)
- Anyone with root-level access on Toolforge
- Any other interested parties can be invited if requested (reach out on irc/email)
