That’s fair feedback.
It definitely wasn’t my intent for these to feel like they were coming out of the blue. I’ve generally been trying to follow the schedule posted on the main website, and for the recent meetings we’ve been aiming for the third Thursday of the month. This one got a little messier because we had to change locations, but the date itself was the one we had been working from.
That said, I agree that we should make the cadence and communication clearer. A predictable monthly schedule would probably help a lot, whether that stays as third Thursday or moves to something like third Monday.
For tonight, I’m inclined to keep the room since we already have it, and I’ve been cooped up working from home all day anyway. If a few people can make it, great. If turnout is light, we can use the time to talk through better ways to schedule, announce, and plan future meetings.
