tl;dr: Q “Why don’t we have a dedicated quill stream, and power through these issues in a focussed session?”
Towards the end of a busy live stream today, a question popped up that I think we were all a little to spaced out to dive into, so I figured I’d bring it up here!
Context: The live stream slot on Thursday at 20:00 UK / 3 PM ET / 12 PM PT has been used recently to process some of the issues tagged ‘needs discussion’ on our repos. This has worked well, and resulted in some great explanations, discussions, actions, conclusions and even the odd nerd-snipe. 
When we have time left at the end of planned discussion, we break things up with a roll of the virtual dice and pick a semi-random issue or pr to discuss or triage.
When a quill issue came up, a few of us collectively had our own 
moment. We’d all seen a quill issue or pr that needed some eyeballs or TLC.
Q “Why don’t we have a dedicated quill stream, and power through these issues in a focussed session?”
Personally, I’d love to, especially if I can help test things on my M-series Mac that others on the team can’t easily replicate with their setups.
There’s at least a couple of options here, and I’m fine with whatever the team wants.
- Put up guard rails on the existing stream, and dedicate it to quill or whichever tool we think needs focus.
- Do a separate stream dedicated to a tool.
Either is fine by me, if we can find an agreeable time. I’m always up for a chat, stream and learning session. 
(in moderation)
I do appreciate most of the users and potential audience are probably more interested in Syft & Grype discussions. So maybe a focus session on that instead, or as well as. Obviously we need to be mindful of everyone’s other tasks, and balance things. 
It’s also a chunk of time to be permanently sat at the desk. It’s also work that needs to be done at some point.
