Now that most folks have filled out the forms, it looks like the winning dates are 2029-09-26 and 2023-09-27. Among those dates, there was a pretty even split between preferring a single day (with 9 votes), and preferring two days (with 8 votes).

Let's plan on meeting on both:

  - 2023-09-26: from 10am to 2pm CDT (UTC-5)
  - 2023-09-27: from 10am to 2pm CDT (UTC-5)

The meeting will be hosted on Zoom, and I'll email folks separately off-list with the meeting URL and passcode to join.

If you have any topics you'd like to discuss or lead, make sure to add them to the "Topics" sheet at:

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EnhmTeEqRBlEI2pMAO3oZ4rO1xEwBzYp2vS4CMtvge8

Between now and then, please also feel free to share any thoughts on how we should schedule topics, organize note-takers, make sure the discussion keeps flowing and includes everybody, etc.

See you then!

Thanks, Taylor
