Hey Blaze users 
I was thinking about quarterly (online) usergroup meetings on Blaze, its current state and its future.
Meeting Dates
- Q1-26 to be announced
- Q2-26 to be announced
- Q3-26 to be announced
- Q4-26 to be announced
Audience 
This is directed not only to those who want to develop on Blaze but also to all those who just use Blaze in their projects.
Why these meetings?
Blaze is still a viable part of Meteor and it is still one of the things that integrate perfectly with Meteor out of the box.
At the same time, Blaze is missing more and more features that are just expected when coming from similar frontends, such as Vue.
With ongoing development of Meteor toward new build system and other awesome features it is also demanding for Blaze to stay compatible.
These meetings can give us the opportunity to discuss and prioritize next steps in development and bring focus on solving the current issues and contributions.
Why quarterly?
In my experience this is the perfect frequency as it is not too intrusive in regards to all our schedules while it enables to collect enough input by everyone to fill an agenda.
Minor topics might be discussed in this thread, if necessary.
What would be a good meeting time?
There is a limited timeframe to cover most timezones around the globe within a time that is within the limits of the daytime:
| UTC-time | Los Angeles | New York | Berlin | Delhi | Tokyo |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15:00:00 | Thu 07:00 | Thu 10:00 | Thu 16:00 | Thu 20:30 | Fri 00:00 |
| 16:00:00 | Thu 08:00 | Thu 11:00 | Thu 17:00 | Thu 21:30 | Fri 01:00 |
| 17:00:00 | Thu 09:00 | Thu 12:00 | Thu 18:00 | Thu 22:30 | Fri 02:00 |
- UTC 15:00
- UTC 16:00
- UTC 17:00
Then, there is the weekday. This might be more complex as some people prefer to do this as part of their work, others can’t attend during the week but only on weekends and others want to keep their weekends off any work.
- Monday
- Tuesday
- Wednesday
- Thursday
- Friday
- Saturday
- Sunay
Hope to see you soon!
I am really looking forward to meet with you and get a chance to keep Blaze a first class citizen within the Meteor ecosystem.
