Is there a way to have zoom remind us that the meeting is ending

No decisions will be made in the last 5 minutes even if we go to the hour

How to use the Zoom Timer App

Future topic cleanup and page for non-PC community member suggestions
  • Community topics for Product Council as a proposal and tbd
  • SIGs have tables like this
  • Keep it separate from PC member list
  • Send out info to various folks on slack
  • Will share with PC for feedback
  • Martina Schildt will share on slack and see if we get comments and need to discuss later at a meeting
  • Alexis Manheim Check at next PC planning if topics can be moved to Completed




Revamp agenda planning to make it more strategic. Right now, we aren't agenda-planning more long-term

Still important to be able to address immediate topics

Balance longer term topics with fires

Tri-council meetings can help us focus on what needs to be dealt with
Not just up to PC in many cases
Can PC have subgrops where there are no PC members on them and report back to us
We can't be experts on everything Ex: Browser support

Keeping track of things, doing what we've promised

Need to remind the community what the councils do
PC does not control resources and make all the/overarching decisions
Bring up at the tri-council meeting next week



More expectations for PC members. How can we make members more prepared.

Something to review beforehand, easily accessible
background or new information, not too much
For very important topics, have presentations on them (like re-architcturing)
Set up more subroups/working groups to deal with certain tasks – asking less involved folks to join




Set goals for the group
Annual goals like we set at WOLFCon – Yes continue with this
Specific goals for subgroups or meetings?
Charter level goals?		Annual process for setting goals at WOLFCon
Martina will check Easyretro board to see if she can find out who added this item and what they meant

Create tasks from meeting notes

Minute taker can add a task and tag the person

Task report is part of agenda at the beginning

Task report is part of agenda at the beginning of the weekly PC meeting

Ask minute takers to add tasks when something is assigned
