At today’s meeting we came back to this topic. Right now I ran a bit out of time, so I’m just linking to the meeting log: Meeting Log | Ansible Community Working Group | 2025-06-18 18:00:51 (note the attached full log).

general gist of it is -
- only one or two people at most come. Usually the same one or two.
- most meetings have limited content (pointing to async posts here in the forum)
- much navel gazing on should we keep the meeting, should we morph it into something else (like open office hrs)
And in general, has the need for a synchronous meeting time waned as we have the forum here for discussions, and for getting answers to general ansible usser/developer questions.

I think that’s what happened automatically with the forum. It’s easier to just start a discussion here anytime instead of waiting for the meeting to do this. And you would even get more feedback: People can answer whenever they find the time to do, not just in the one hour of the weekly meeting.
Actually this is a prime example. I wasn’t able to be at the meeting yesterday but I’m commenting now here.
That said, I tend to drop the weekly meeting. Although I wouldn’t object to keeping it if you want to.

As I don’t participate anyway, I’m OK with dropping it or keeping it if people want.
Feel free to drop it - timezone is always against me anyways, and I end up checking the outcome here in the forum anyways.
Agreed, feel free to drop, don’t care either way.
2025-06-18 18:17:30 <@samccann:ansible.im> also, doesn't look like shertel is here in matrix?
2025-06-18 18:17:31 <@acozine:ansible.im> so two "lost weeks"
2025-06-18 18:17:50 <@felixfontein:matrix.org> samccann: at least not in this room
2025-06-18 18:18:42 <@samccann:ansible.im> ah good point… should matrix presence in this room be an SC requirement? or is presence in the forum good enuf?
Why? I am already accessible SO many places, I have no interest in joining matrix.
I think the rest of the discussion confirmed that SC members aren’t required to be in that matrix room.

Ok. This has been my understanding.
