fixed monthly schedule for Diag WG meetings

[joshgav]

I think it would help consistency and make participation simpler if we start having a fixed monthly time and date for Diag WG meetings as is done for some other Node.js groups. What do you all think?

An initial proposal: Last Thursday of each month at 1900 UTC (click to see your regional time), which would be one hour before the bi-weekly TSC meeting.

NB: Agenda for meetings is set by the diag-agenda label across the Node.js repos.

Works for me.

P.S.: For people like me who can't handle timezones - it's 11am PT outside of DST:

> TZ="America/Los_Angeles" node -p "new Date('2017-01-01T19:00:00Z').toString()"
Sun Jan 01 2017 11:00:00 GMT-0800 (PST)

> TZ="America/Los_Angeles" node -p "new Date('2017-06-01T19:00:00Z').toString()"
Thu Jun 01 2017 12:00:00 GMT-0700 (PDT)

In meeting yesterday I accidentally said after the TSC meeting, but here I proposed before 🤷‍♀️. To clarify, I propose the following for the Diag WG monthly meeting and unless there are objections we'll run with this next month. I'll also add to the Node.js calendar. Thanks!

Before last TSC meeting each month at 1900 UTC (click to see your regional time).

I just noticed that next month it's not the last Thursday of the month, just so people don't get it wrong 😃

So it's the Thursday of every 4th week starting on the 20th of April if my math is correct

Oh, will the meeting time move with DST btw? In most of Europe DST starts in a few days, but the time is specified in UTC which doesn't follow DST - so technically that means that the meeting will be one our later? Or will we move the time to compensate for DST?

[joshgav]

We ended up going with the last Thursday of the month in April. Perhaps we should stick with that?

I think this can be closed now given the new set of meetings & bi-weekly cadence. Please reactivate if not the case.
