@harry97 thanks a lot. We actually have to, since we will very likely have to drop it as Blaze is relying on methods, seemingly dropped in 4.0, which makes your PR even more relevant.

@jkuester Where are you planning to organize or document those meetings? I was thinking of doing something inspired by Node.js, which has working groups separated by areas like performance, release, security…

I was considering creating a new repository called “working groups” starting with Blaze only. Once we develop a solid format for Blaze, maybe we can replicate it for new working groups (in the same repository) for other areas.

Your initiative would be beneficial for new contributors.

What do you think?

Hey @italojs I was looking for a Thursday in February, which is not too far away from now.
I like the idea of a usergroup repo, where we can document agendas and meetings.
I personally think this should be a monorepo under the /meteor github or to centralize the efforts as much as possible.

Let’s do a final vote on the exact date, which will be a Thursday at 15:00 UTC.

  • 5th Feb 26
  • 12th Feb 26
  • 19th Feb 26
  • 26th Feb 26

The meeting will take place in the Meteor Discord Audio/Video channel. Video appearance is very much appreciated, but is not a 100% must.

If you have urgent topics, feel free to comment here or in the near future usergroup repo and I will compile an agenda for the meeting.

Agree 100%
Will create a repo for it and leave it here soon

what about record it and post at meteor’s YT channel?

do you already have a server/channel for it? I can create one for it inside our official discord

The first meeting is now settled: Thursday, 19th February 2026 at 15:00 UTC.

@italojs I personally like the recording but we should ask all attendees at the beginning if they are okay with it as I don’t want to exclude people just because they don’t like being recorded.

It would be awesome if we can use a channel in the official discord as I think this is likely to increase the amount of users showing up.

If you want to use the same system we had for Impact, I can make that happen.

Reminder: today is the Blaze Usergroup Meeting at 15:00 UTC in the official Meteor Discord.

@italojs we cannot create an event in the official Meteor Lounge discord so we need you to set it up please. If you cannot make it in time, we will provide an alternative in the MeteorJS Community Discord.

I was hoping to pop in and take a gander, but I won’t be able to attend this one (bad schedule for it this week) but in fairness I have not touched much Blaze before anyway, so in the meantime I guess my penance is to use more Blaze in preparation for Q2 (probably with basecoat) :sweat_smile:

Hey there, it’s time to plan the second Blaze usergroup Meeting for this year

The main topic for me would be how we can keep the awesome Momentum up and running.
For those who missed it: the Blaze repo got some awesome PRs toward the upcoming 3.1.0 release.

However, I can only manage as much as my free resources allow me to. We currently need to ensure this release remains stable and backwards compatible. Testing will be low-barrier by providing published alpha/beta/rc.

Additionally I need support in reviewing remaining PRs for 3.1.0 so I can prepare an RC.

Vote on a date

As most people voted for a Thursday 15pm utc as the sweet spot for a meeting, I will opt for the following dates:

  • 28th May
  • 4th June
  • 11th June
  • 18th June
  • 25th June

Looks like 4th June it is :slight_smile:

oh, 4th June is a holiday for me and 3pm utc is the lunch time lol, but i’ll do my best to be present

btw, I created a public calendar for those meetings, let me know if you can attach it in your calendar and if the meeting schedule is in the proper hour for your timezone, i’m still learning how it works

it’s good to see this user group having another meet, it’s an inspiration for what is being discussed in this PR
