OCaml compiler office hours

I believe the whole point of using this platform instead of e.g. Google Meet is not to give all our data to a big corporation. Not sure a Chromebook is the answer

Hi, I want to provide a little positive feedback.
I read the meeting summary and it sounded super positive!
As a less active member of the Ocaml community, it felt like a great window into the current goings on of the compiler/core team.
Seems like an awesome place to be able to point people to if they are keen to get involved with the compiler. It’d definitely be a first port of call for me if I had some time and inclination to contribute in the future.

Hi everyone,

This is just a reminder that the next compiler office hours are due to happen at 15:30–17:00 UTC today, which starts in a little more than four hours.

Hi gashe.
I enjoyed Fridays compiler office hours.
When is the next one that is convenient for you and Nicolas

Thanks! I haven’t picked a date for the next one. My impression was that this second edition was a bit calmer than the first one, so I think that we could space out future meetings a bit more, maybe every two or three months.

Okay.

That makes sense.

I look forward to it.

Thank you for your time.

@gasche Are there plans for another meeting? March is two to three months after the last one.

Right, thanks! Here is a poll for the next meeting, on the time slot 11:00-12:00 UTC, with choices in two weeks.

(Note: in two weeks Europe will be in summer time, so for example 11:00 UTC is 13:00 CEST. )

  • Monday March 30th
  • Tuesday March 31th
  • Wednesday April 1st
  • Thursday April 2nd
  • Friday April 3rd
0 voters

If we have it on Wednesday April 1st, only fun topics will be covered. No MSVC support!

Edit thanks to @yawaramin below, the proposed meeting slot in local time: 2026-03-30T11:00:00Z→2026-03-30T12:00:00Z

(If you wonder what trickery this is, the markup is [date-range from=2026-03-30T11:00:00 to=2026-03-30T12:00:00 timezone=UTC].)

I sent a link for the online meeting: Visio
(I could not start a meeting with the previous URL, so this is a new one)

We just had a meeting and the notes are in the pad. (We had a fun discussion about MetaOCaml with Oleg, whose microphone was in Darth Vader cosplay mode.)

The notes of the meeting are available: OCaml compiler office hours, April 3rd 2026 - HedgeDoc

The plan is to have the next meeting in two months; I am thinking of Friday June 5th, at the same time.
