## Topics

- Our meeting time
- Opinion on the agenda topics
- Pinged the t-compiler for an official calendar, and hackmd note team

### Notes

- High level strategy and goals
- MCP had a 1 year reevaluation date
- How to manage the working group? Where to publish notes?
- mdbook website
- track where people are working
- Everyone likes the reading club
- Especially previously history of Rust macros
- How to do triage?
- Asynchronous 24 hour meetings on Zulip
- Eric likes the idea. Challenge will be tracking decisions. Zulip polls might help, and a two phase process to summarize discussion and ratify decisions.
- Be notified about changes to macro system
- Helps us learn
- Figure out who's interested in what kind of work
- auto-tag @wg-macros
- Want to avoid the failure where no one knows we are working on macros
- reason for triage: there are known issues already, make sure we understand them and can make a plan for the right way to resolve them
- Team introduction threads on #wg-async
- why interested in wg-async?
- any relevant background or expertise?
- Our meeting time - after wg-async triage, but flexible on times if break is needed
- Might need to restructure triage/reading club meetings after a few weeks

Eric's goals and strategies:

1. Earn the respect of the rest of the Rust Project
- especially T-compiler
2. Build expertise in the Rust macro system
- understand the current state of the macro system
3. (longer term) drive the implementation of Rust macros

More internally focused for the near term - build our own expertise before we start trying to drive things externally.
