As, I hope you’ve seen we now have an Embedded SIG ! – You should see the initial folder and charter appear on the official BCA GitHub Repository.
Scheduling the Inaugural Meeting
The first item we need to do is schedule the inaugural meeting. This is an important initial meeting. It is where we will nominate and select co-chairs, and the decide upon or meeting schedule. As you know, our charter is a bit different to the charters from other SIGs. We’re specifically looking to schedule meetings in three time zones, Asia Pacific, Europe and The Americas. This is going to require co-chairs who can join these meetings. It is really important, at least for this first meeting that everyone can join. Unfortunately until we make these decisions, it means that our very first meeting will be a compromise for all time zones. But I really want to make sure that as many people as possible can attend, so to help with this I’ve created a Doodle Poll, which you can see here:
Call to Action - > Please do vote!

I'm also working with David Bryant to set up a google group, if you'd like to be added to the group please do let me know, with a reply, or alternatively drop me a DM!
Dan Mihai Dumitriu (Jun 13 2024 at 05:15):Would love to be added to the google group!
Thanks Chris!
Dominik Tacke (Jun 13 2024 at 13:28):I would love to be in the google group as well
Thanks
fitzgen (he/him) (Jun 13 2024 at 15:23):Thanks Chris! I'd also like to be on the google group :pray:
Chris Woods (Jun 13 2024 at 15:24):Just waiting on getting the access control to the google group from David and I'll add you guys to it.
Chris Woods (Jun 13 2024 at 15:26):I'd like to close the doodle poll end of business Friday this week - tomorrow,June 14th. If anyone hasn't please do vote. I know the times aren't ideal for everyone, but that's something we can address in the meeting.
Ralph (Jun 17 2024 at 08:10):I just voted, as I was traveling, but in case it didn't get counted I'm in CET so anything but the 2 AM CET
slot was fine
Ralph (Jun 17 2024 at 08:10)::-)
Chris Woods (Jun 18 2024 at 03:37):Awesome folks! - Thanks to everyone that voted. We've have a winner with a Jun 19th @ 6am Central Time. I will send out a placeholder for this!

Chris Woods (Jun 18 2024 at 03:59):and, as you may have seen, I'm having a "lot of fun" / "getting sligtht confused by" the Google Groups / Calendar invite system - but this link should help...

Hi Folks - I've had a few people say they couldn't access toe Goolge link, so here is an outlook version of the same. Note that I've no meeting logistics yet - I need to work with David for Zoom details, if I can't do that, we can fall back to using a Siemens Teams account.
Let me reach out to David today and then I'll get back ro you with updated Google links, Meeting invites on the Goolge Groups, and an updated .ics file.
Thanks for bearing with me,
Chris
fitzgen (he/him) (Jun 18 2024 at 16:44):unfortunately, I won't be able to make it to this meeting, nor do I expect most folks in the US will be able to, as the 19th is a federal holiday
Chris Woods (Jun 18 2024 at 17:14):I know this doesn't work for all, but it did win the doodle poll. It's precisiely because of the multitude of people in different time zones, and geo-political areas, that we're attempting to have meetings in several timezones. I want to thank everyone for their understanding on this, and particularly for thier accomodation toward the awkward timing of this first meeting.
With regard to Juneteeth (the federal holiday Nick refers to). AFAIK the Federal holidays are not 100% observed by all organizations in the USA. Banks, and government organizations will observe them. But many other US organziations, like my own, do not observe them.... don't get me wrong, I really wish they did... with this in mind, and because it won the poll, this is why I went with it.
I'm also really aware that the time picked is outside normal working hours in both the US and China. Yes it's awkward, and at least for this first meeting, there is no perfect slot for everyone.
For anyone who cannot attend, the purpose of the meeting will be to discuss meeting cadence and nominating co-chairs for the different timezones, if you'd like to put your name forward as a co-chair, or have a strong preference for time slots, by all means let me know, I'll be sure to present this during the meeting.

Christof Petig (Jun 19 2024 at 04:05):Dear Chris,
I got a bit confused by time zone names and my calendars disagreeing about the time, CET is commonly used for central European time, which would be UTC+1 and one hour from now, I guess you mean US central time (with daylight saving) which is 7 hours from now, UTC-5.
Chris Woods (Jun 19 2024 at 04:10):Yes, you are spot on! - Meeting is at 6am Chicago Time (US Central), 4am California (Pacific Time) (sorry folks), 1pm in Germany (Central Europe) midday in the UK, and 7pm in China.
Chris Woods (Jun 19 2024 at 04:11):Hope this helps.
Christof Petig (Jun 19 2024 at 04:25):Sorry, I will need to join a bit later because I lead a Rust WG meeting in AUTOSAR at the same time. The WG hasn't met for two weeks because I was traveling to Japan, presenting wasm at the 15th AOC, so I will try to keep it short and then join you.
Chris Woods (Jun 19 2024 at 04:26):Thanks Christof, if you are interested in taking on another co-chair role let me know! :)
Chris Woods (Jun 19 2024 at 04:27):Oh, and I'd love to see the AOC presentation?
Chris Woods (Jun 19 2024 at 04:28):This meeting will be primarily focused on logistics, and setting up the series of real meetings, in time zone friendly slots. - The next set of meetings should be where the really interesting discussion occurs.
Chris Woods (Jun 19 2024 at 10:53):Good morning / Afternoon folks - just a heads up that we're starting our first meeting in 7 minutes. See you all online soon.
