Hello All,

We have a TRM today at 13UTC and I would like to share some thoughts…


TRM participation is down to a point that I wonder if there is any interest to keep and maintain them…

End of 2022… ahem let’s skip to 2023.
01 few people (fosdem meeting)
02 was cancelled
03 was only Gary and me
04 … not a lot of people express interest to join

I wrote this because I hope we can keep a formal regular meeting between members and new comers of the Tiki project.


Those meetings still have interest for:

- Announcement/status of things to come: release process, change of technology discussion (bs5, PHP8, etc)
- Demonstration of new additions in Tiki or better way to use the existing
- Human/social relations between members of the community

——

In the past they had an interest for:
- Discuss revamp or addition of stuff
- Vote on a decision
- Tiki.o websites decisions or changes
- Tiki Association

Those are happening outside of the TRM since a while. It allowed to have more topics filling the TRM planning.

——

With fewer point of interest, it is very hard to maintain TRM if the meetings are not regularly organized and offer interesting topics every month

Announcements
Having 2 to 4 announcements per year for release status or branching is not enough to fill the TRM. (Tiki25.0 was the last release discussion Nov 2022)
Technology addition or change requires volunteering from developers or people involved and having the knowledge. (not happening)

Demonstrations
Requires volunteering from developers or people that have things to show to the other. (Volunteers are rare and it can’t be always the same members)
Personally I think that with a continuous flow of additions in Tiki we should have 2 TRM per month. A lot of stuff is added, very few knows and documentation with samples/usecases to attract people on Tiki don’t follow 🥴

Human/social relations between members of the community
While essential in my mind and almost the reason I keep coming, this is not enough…


See the usual suspect (stolen from JonnyB I admit) in a few hours,
Bernard
