Virtual TPAC meetings

Hi Folks, Spec Editors,

Please see below - important information about the upcoming Virtual TPAC meeting(s) in October. 

I've sent out a calendar invite to WG Members that will allow you to see our group's TPAC shared schedule. At the moment, there is only one scheduled meeting for Monday 19th of October. 

However, we are **inviting you to set up your own spec/community meetings** from the 26-30th of October.  

If you are not a working group member, or don't have a Google account, the calendar is publicly accessible at:

https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0?cid=Y19tczEyajVndXFhczdnZmg5ZjRiN3YydGY1MEBncm91cC5jYWxlbmRhci5nb29nbGUuY29t

WG Members with a Google Account have the ability to add/edit the calendar. 

If you didn't receive and invite, it was because you didn't have a Google account. If you have some alternative Google account that you can use, please email me and I can invite you - or email me and I can set up an entry for you and invite people on your behalf. 

## Holding a meeting (breakout session)
Important: your meetings should happen between 26-30th of October. 

If you'd like to hold a meeting for your spec/community, please go ahead and make an entry in the calendar between those dates above - you can hold as many meetings as you like, for as long as you need (within reason). 

Please be mindful when holding a meeting that it doesn't clash with other group meetings taking place at the W3C around the same time:
https://www.w3.org/2020/10/TPAC/group-schedule.html
https://www.w3.org/wiki/TPAC/2020/GroupMeetings
 
Please feel free to invite working group members or folks in the community who you are collaborating with.

There are some rules for holding a meeting, below. 

## Organizing a meeting

Each spec has a Github issue open for coordinating a TPAC meeting. Please chime in and let the spec editors know if you want to meet - and please subscribe to the issues/specs you care about.

Spec editors, please announce if/when you are meeting to your community in the GitHub issue. 

## Rules for holding a meeting
 
 * Choose a VOIP technology that can support your participants (hangouts, Zoom, Skype, etc.). Please don't share the info publicly - send calendar invites or emails with that info. 
 * Make a note of who is present at your meeting and anyone who sent regrets.
 * In a publicly accessible document (google doc, GitHub wiki, whatever), make a record of:
    * Who is present, who took the minutes, any one who sent regrets
    * Clearly label topics discussed
    * Actions to be taken - these can just be links to GitHub Issues. 
    * Any "resolutions", although asynchronous resolutions are preferred through consensus (i.e., file bugs on GitHub).
    * please provide a public link to the minutes, so we can then collate them. 

I've created a template that you can use/adapt:

## Questions, etc.. 

Doing a virtual TPAC is new for all of us, so expect some hiccups - timezone coordination alone is going to be a real challenge. 

Please email Leonie and I if you have any questions. You can also find us on Slack in the #webapps channel:

Kind regards,
Marcos and Leonie - Working Group Chairs
