[mpiwg-sessions] FTWG & Sessions WG Joint Discussions

Hi folks,

I’m sorry that I missed my own deadline for scheduling this. The preferences were split here between 1 and 2, but I think 1 will work better moving forward as the two WGs might need to have a little time to respond to discussions during these joint meetings.

It’s probably too late to put this together for this week, but maybe we can start in two weeks? I’ll join the Sessions WG today to at least discuss this with the folks on that call.

Thanks,
Wes

Logistically, it would probably be simpler to do 1 so we don’t have to shuffle between topics, so that would be my preference, but please indicate your's by replying. I’ll work with the WG leaders on Wednesday to set up whatever we pick.

In the FTWG today, we discussed this a little more with Dan “representing” the Sessions WG. At this point, it probably makes sense to try to find a few times over the next few months where we can all meet together to cover topics that our two groups are exploring. I think we have three options to do this:
>>

>> 
>> 2. Merge the meeting time slots and share the middle hour. The FTWG meets in the hour before the Sessions WG. So we could have the middle hour (11:30am - 12:30pm US Central time) be common time every other week to discuss common items while leaving time for the two WGs during their normal time slots. This would involve some Zoom link merging, but we could figure that out.

>> 3. Pick a completely different time to meet in addition to our existing WG times.

Indicate your availability for a meeting on this doodle poll: https://doodle.com/poll/2wztvc68b8gw6e7m?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link <https://doodle.com/poll/2wztvc68b8gw6e7m?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link>. While the poll is anchored to this week, the times are for a recurring meeting every other week, so ignore any one-off conflicts you have this week.
>> 
>> b. Pick your preference between 1, 2, and 3 above and respond to this email. If you’re not on both mailing lists, this will likely generate a bunch of bounces for you. Feel free to register for the list you’re not currently on to avoid that problem. You can also reply just to me, but you won’t impose your preferences on the rest of the group that way. :)

>> Based on the responses, I’ll try to find a time that works best for the most people.
