11:30 | <nicolo-ribaudo> | Maybe we should make the agenda deadline always be on the same weekday, rather than 10 days before the first day |
11:30 | <nicolo-ribaudo> | It makes it easier to track it and plan around it |
15:25 | <TabAtkins> | Ah, like always a Friday? That would mean a variable number of days from the meeting, but within a small range, since the meetings always start M-W. I'd approve of that. |
15:25 | <TabAtkins> | "Agenda deadline is two Fridays before the meeting" |
16:17 | <ljharb> | almost every plenary starts on a tuesday, so the 10 days is the same weekday usually - this one's an anomaly |
16:18 | <nicolo-ribaudo> | Half of them start on mondays, half on Tuesday |
16:30 | <Michael Ficarra> | just pretend that the deadline is 2 Mondays before the meeting and you'll always be good |
16:31 | <Michael Ficarra> | me, I will continue adding agenda items 5 minutes before the deadline |
17:38 | <TabAtkins> | Monday deadlines are annoying, tho - I don't think about it the preceding week, then I miss it on Monday! |
17:39 | <TabAtkins> | But a Friday deadline, now that's something I can procrastinate and then panic-work into 👍️ |
18:07 | <shu> | i am beyond categorical concepts such as deadlines |
20:37 | <canadahonk> | (in theory) there's no deadline for non-advancement right? |
20:43 | <nicolo-ribaudo> | Right, but if you want to get useful opinions in many cases you still need to give time to people to talk with their colleagues |
20:45 | <nicolo-ribaudo> | Not every delegate speaks for themselves, many are actually representing their team/company for real :) And thus many companies have internal meetings before TC39 to gather internal feedback: if there is no material, it's impossible to do it |
21:06 | <mgaudet> | (Mozilla would really really really appreciate materials be available before our review meeting for example) |
21:57 | <TabAtkins> | Yeah, for non-advancement the deadline is a "please do so" rather than a strict requirement - it's very useful to be able to review things a week+ in advance. |
23:18 | <rbuckton> | Apologies, when adding my topic and constraints to the agenda I misclicked and failed to make that a PR. The commit is dd7987ea52e8923cbcc67915176f534541276eee if it needs to be backed out for any reason. |
