        • Create Discord channel? Let's use a thread #besu-contributors discord channel and consider this if it gets too noisy.

        • Start thread on Discord

        • Potentially arrange meeting

  • Other Business

    • The next APAC contributor call is Jan 3 AU (Jan 2 in US/EU) - if no urgent issues - propose we skip that one due to folks being on break

      • Call out once more in Discord

    • Time rotation of contributor calls (3 time options?) - discussion

      • skipped until next call with Danno

    • Remove or rename #besu-nodes discussion - https://discord.com/channels/905194001349627914/905205502940696607/1044723284597559298

      • Some agreement on folding back to one channel

      • Simon to finalise decision with a vote on Discord

    • Autogenerated changelog discussion - https://discord.com/channels/905194001349627914/905205502940696607/1042273874928226314

      • Context: lots of changelog conflicts

      • Another approach: order changelog by PR number

      • Less of an issue now, probably don't need to continue this conversation

    • Propose deprecation of GoQuorum privacy (one of 3 privacy modes in Besu) - @Sally MacFarlane 

    • Add Gabriel as maintainer - https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/pull/4750

      • 13 so far so maybe able to merge.

  • Open Forum

    • Release process and Quality

      • recent issues with release quality 

      • reinterpretation of existing processes in the context of trunk based development

      • Gary: propose still releasing on main but cut the release days before we officially announce it

      • It is possible to do semi-manually right now, but could incrementally automate

      • transparency of dev node burn-in results

      • Some CI work required for docker publishing

      • If we adopt this, can we do this for 22.10.3? Would require cut-off this Friday instead of next Wednesday

      • Continue conversation in Discord

  • Roadmap Review 

  • Future Topics
