Hi all, The upcoming Public Numba Dev meeting is on July 14th at 10:30 US central time. You can find instructions on how to join in the event details on this [google calender](https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=5rqnddm4gjrdfjm31fsv182epk%40group.calendar.google.com). (Tips: adding it to your own calendar will convert the time to your timezone.) We want to have a more defined agenda this time. So here’s are some topics that we can have: 1. **Discourse feedback**. We started this Discourse forum as an action item from the last meeting and we want to gather any feedback on it. 2. **Daily task of maintainers** : Short presentation from maintainers on maintaining Numba. 3. **Themed discussion (perhaps one or two topics per meeting)**: Some topic suggestions: - How can error messages be improved, what do different user groups need? - What sort of metrics would it be good for Numba to produce? (compilation, runtime etc) - What extra guidance/tutorial materials would be good to have? - What’s “the one missing feature” that you really want?! - Where should Numba be in 5 years time? - \ Feel free to discuss which topic(s) to talk about, or indeed suggest new ones in the thread, topic selection will be based on popularity. Hope to see you there! ---

I think these two topics can help us understands the needs and interests of the community better. > [@stuartarchibald](#): > > - What’s “the one missing feature” that you really want?! > - Where should Numba be in 5 years time? ---

hi there! I agree with @ehsantn about those two topics. The metrics question is also interesting, but it could be discussed on Discourse too. Cheers, ---

I’m bummed that I missed this announcement. Is there a plan for a standing public meeting, or was this a one-off of the closed meeting? ---

The intention is to have an open meeting on a monthly basis, it’s penciled in as “second Tuesday of the Month”, the calendar in the OP should track that.
