### Agenda

- SciPy 2023 sprint
- Matthias: I'm not here but can try to remote join to migrate the bot if needs be.
- Who would be here and have time to organise things ?
- Kirsten comming but not to sprint. Pamphile same.
- Maybe meet one evening.
- Maybe one "Scientific Python Sprint"
- I'm available to help on the 2nd day of sprints, i.e. 16th July - Sanket
- I'll be there both days and can help, but organizing/leading will be difficult - Madicken
- I'll be there both days of the sprints - Paul
- I'll be there both days. Dinner/lunch breakout would work best - Brigitta
- Will be there both days - @stefanv
- I'll be there on both days - Inessa
- I'll be there first day only but might not have full day for this - @pllim
- Will be there both days, not sure whether scikit-image sprint will take precedence - @lagru

- EuroSciPy 2023 sprint
- No one seem to be going to ESP.

- NF Project summit satellite meetings (September 11 - 13, 2023, Amsterdam, NL)
- Maybe a satellite spec print a day before.
- Matthias: I'll likely be there.
- If I go, I would be interested - Brigitta
- If I go, I'd be happy to work on SPECs - Inessa

- Monthly calls
- Matthias: I'm happy with monthly.
- Madicken: I'm happy with montly also.
- Matthias: Montly manucure ?
- Madicken: Of course! Get ready to party.
- Brigitta: would be happy with regular meetings
- Sanket: In favour with monthly meetings.
- Inessa: +1 for monthly meetings

- Governance
- Membership
- "stepping out"
- term limits
- automatic conversion to emeritus status after year of inactivity
- Inessa could help with the first draft
- Core projects
- Zarr ?
- Yes! Will be sending a PR soon for the same - Sanket
- how to deal with domain focusing, but large(ish) projects?
- Madicken: This could run into political issues with other domain-specific packages (choosing one over another)
- Brigitta: indeed, all or none feels like a better aproach. They can still choose to follow specs, participate in writing them, just won't be listed as endorsers.
- Madicken +1 to that idea. It seems like a good way to be inclusive to the domain without seeming like a "cool kids club"
- Affiliate / interested projects
- Supporting projects (?)
- automate membership invites etc.
