 ### Meeting schedule
 
 There is a poll currently flying around in the members only federation channel on Matrix. Please take a look and fill in your times! We will aim to discuss a fixed meeting schedule (which takes all members timezones into account) going forward, so we can avoid the organisational churn of online polls.
