## Attendees
- Blaise Thompson @blaise
- Kyle Sunden @ksunden

## Upcoming events
- 2023-10-19 yaq project community call https://hackmd.io/@yaq/S1QSby91T

## Notes

- Call logistics
- Monthly 3rd Thursday
- Using jitsi integrated in element (can change)
- A notification, but not "ringing" to people in the room
- hackmd for notes, try one note per meeting, use hackmd as archive for now (may archive to git at some point)

- PRs and Issues
- https://github.com/yaq-project/yaq-python/pull/67/ (Aserial helper function in yaqd-core)
- No real qualms with adding, implementation looks okay
- Docstring is not in a standard format, @ksunden will fix it

- State_ID should be part of is-daemon
- Updated in many places within parent classes in yaqd-core
- Also provide API for dowstream classes to increment according to their own logic
- Strongly prefer counting changes twice to missing changes
- Future clients MAY choose to agressively cache
- Am positive that there will be many annoying edge cases

- collect_measured
- could be as simple as a mix-in class
- Do we want to add to a lot of different existing sensors?
- Need to have a time stamp for each measurement---we have avoided this so far

- should we support subscribe (with polling under the covers) in yaqc_bluesky?
- interrupts
- @ksunden says "maybe after state_id"

- should we rewrite yaqc_bluesky to the async api of RE?
