Regular meetings is a core piece of my platform, I want to promote
weekly community meetings that will have different forms. They will
happen across different time zones and may have different formats
(perhaps 3 IRC meetings and one Jitsi video meeting a month, we can see
how it goes if it works out). I think it's important to have a platform
where important issues can be brought up that are relevant right now and
also to some degree addressed right then.
And yes, I hope that that will also help attract some of those fixers I
talked about earlier :)
