- Shaun
- Sandro/Penguinpee (@gui1ty)
- Ida
- Roland (@rolandixor)
- Akashdeep (@t0xic0der)

After some struggle with Jitsi suddenly requiring log in or moderator approval, followed by technical issues with Sandro’s mic not working, Justin took the task of chairing upon him (thank you 
). Notes were taken somewhat collectively.

Event badges (@riecatnor, @jflory7)
- Discussion thread
- Wait with implementation until new system is ready.
- As discussion is still ongoing, this one moves on to the next meeting, possibly as a main topic.
Badges development participation (@t0xic0der)
- @jflory7 suggests to change the format of the badges development call, making it uniform and consistent. It should be time to develop and hack together.
- Meeting cadence will change (see announcements).
- @jflory7 notes that developers are in different time zones.
- With the current meeting time (08:30 UTC) it’s mostly people from Europe that attend.
- It is rare for people from other parts of the world (the Americas and Oceania) to attend due to the time difference.
- Is there a guide for running the meeting? No. But this may be a good first step.
- Is there someone who could help run the meetings in a more western-friendly timezone? Possibly. But we don’t know who.
- Follow up on the meeting guide and continue to look for a volunteer for an earlier time zone.

Good First Issue (GFI) (@jflory7)
