I'd like to add something to the agenda, @poojaranjan 😄

We will start to have recurring Merge meetings every two weeks to discuss the technical progress on the project. See: https://github.com/ethereum/pm/blob/master/Merge/merge.md

Would it be possible for ECH to take notes for them? We should pay the same amount as AllCoreDevs given the calls are as long and as technical.

[poojaranjan]

@timbeiko this sounds great! I am sure, we can schedule notes taking for that meeting.

Added to the agenda under meeting notes.

Hey Herders,

I would love to add to agenda following questions on behalf of Ethereum Magicians ✨

1. Do you guys - ECH have plans for this year ?
2. What kind of activities are you doing except Peeps EIP and taking notes of Core Devs call ?
3. Is there a way how we - Magicians can help you or collaborate ?

The first question was answered by @poojaranjan in DM:
"On a very high level, Notes, Network upgrade support, Community calls, PEEPanEIP, Breakout room meetings, EIPIP are there. We also want to get engage in help with some community usable reports."

I would love to hear more ideas on what are your plans and how we can collaborate together :)

Alternatively, we'd love to hear how we can help you!

There's something I'd like to suggest as a possible initiative to champion - there's some talk about the lack of a good universal IR (Intermediate Representation) language in the space right now, something like LLVM but catered for blockchain, and I'd be interested in pitching an effort to create a working group on this. Could we put that in?

Closing in favor of #169
