Call co-ordinates: 

3rd Thursday of each month @ 10:00 US Central time

## 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?
