Proposal for monthly "IFC Development" Calls in 2020

Developers General Assembly (neé ISG) Meetings
1

I would like to propose a monthly webinar for “IFC Development” matters. As we look to expand the ISG meetings to include more of the technical community (including research, academia, room and project leaders, and independent developers) and transform the technical expertise of buildingSMART to being more proactive and responsive and less reactive or passive, we need to improve the flow of communications.

I would like to propose the third Thursday of every month, at 7:00 am (Austin) US Central Standard Time / 13.00 UTC/GMT (London) / 21.00 China Standards Time (Beijing).

Alternatively, if there is enough interest from our Asian-Pacific colleagues, I would be open to hosting two meetings, one at 8:00 am US CST / 14.00 GMT and one at 9:00pm US CST / 11:00 am CST [Friday] (Beijing). This might make the timing easier for everyone with two audiences at more convenient times.

Please reply and let me know if one or both proposals work for you.

@jwouellette thank you for this. Increased transparency and community outreach is extremely important.

Either works for me. I would love to join.

Great initiative @jwouellette - I will try to wrangle some Canadian collegues to attend! (Both options work)

I like the idea and I prefer 13 UTC

Hi, This is a great idea! I’m in New Zealand so an Asia Pacific timing would suit me.

@jwouellette, third Thursday of January is this week :slight_smile:
Will you setup a call?

I think I’d better shoot for next week, in this particular case, given the holidays and lagging feedback. I’ll post details soon.

Being it will be the first such call, it may be more introductory and general orientation than tackling a particular agenda. I’ll talk to @berlotti.
