Hi Michael,

I'm in the exact same situation as Ard. My timezone + my lack of availability (I do this as one of my hobbies, and not as a job) make it very hard to attend meetings,
although I really don't mind discussing these issues on the mailing list.

I do have something to say about point 2) though. My package (Ext4Pkg) only has a single maintainer (myself) and it's really bothersome to try and merge my own patches as I need to bother
the EDK2 platforms stewards every time I want to do so. If someone could step up to be a co-maintainer and help review my own patches from time to time, it would be really great.

Best regards,
Pedro

Hello edk2-platforms maintainers,

There is a TianoCore community meeting on Tools and CI that takes place
weekly on Mondays from 19:30 - 20:30 PDT.

Meeting Details:
   https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/discussions/2614

Several recurring topics have come up regarding edk2-platforms:

   1. Consistently define toolchain support in edk2-platforms
   https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3660

   2. Audit edk2-platforms maintainers
   https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3659

   3. Enable continuous integration (CI) in edk2-platforms
   https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3658

   4. Stable tag support in edk2-platforms
   https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3661

As a maintainer, your help is needed to make progress on these items.

Ultimately, we want the open-source platforms to be more approachable
and reliable by removing inactive platforms, eliminating unnecessary
tool divergence, enabling well-defined and functional CI builds, and
refreshing the maintainer list with the appropriate contacts.

To start, can you please respond if a representative from your package
is able to attend the meeting at the regularly scheduled time to discuss
these topics?

If not, can you please state the representative and their timezone you
would like to join the discussion and we can try to plan around that.

We would like to add this to May 2, 2022 meeting instance agenda if we
have quorum.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Regards,
Michael
