Ava Chow edited this page Jan 9, 2025 · 23 revisions

The IRC meeting is every Thursday at 14:00 UTC (with some exceptions for skipping due to CoreDev).

The following is the general script used for running the meeting, text in code formatting can be pasted in directly.

  • Start the meeting:
    #startmeeting
    
    • You should see several messages from core-meetbot.
  • Ping everyone:
    #bitcoin-core-dev Meeting: abubakarsadiq achow101 _aj_ ajonas b10c brunoerg cfields darosior dergoegge fanquake fjahr furszy gleb glozow hebasto instagibbs jarolrod jonatack josibake kanzure laanwj LarryRuane lightlike luke-jr maflcko marcofleon maxedw Murch pinheadmz provoostenator ryanofsky sdaftuar S3RK stickies-v sipa sr_gi tdb3 theStack TheCharlatan vasild willcl-ark
    
  • Check https://gnusha.org/bitcoin-core-dev/proposedmeetingtopics.txt for pre-proposed meeting topics
  • Ask for last minute topics (usually there are none, replace no with the number when there are):
    There are no pre-proposed meeting topics this week. Any last minute ones to add?
    
  • Working group updates are fixed topics. Do them one by one and ping the group leads. See https://github.com/bitcoin-core/bitcoin-devwiki/wiki/Working-Groups#current-working-groups
  • Around the time of a release, remind people about feature freeze and the release. Possibly replace ad-hoc priorities with a release priorities, e.g. #topic 26.0 release priorities
  • When most recent topic appears to be finished, and there are no other topics, ask if there are any further topics
    Anything else to discuss?
    
  • Around the time of holidays, and also CoreDev events, ask about skipping the next meeting(s).
  • End the meeting either when there are no topics left, or the time is 15:00 UTC:
    #endmeeting
