Bootstrap special interest group

[bg451]

Since it doesn't seem like a special interest group has been formally set up for the node repo, I'd like to propose setting up a SIG similarly to how the dotnet group did theirs. This means setting up a weekly 30 minute sync up, each meeting with a proposed agenda, and a publicly viewable document with meeting notes.

An example of a first meeting's agenda (stolen from dotnet's first meeting):

1. About this meeting
2. High-level plan
3. How to contribute
4. Areas of work

Thoughts and opinions? What day and time should the meeting take place?

+1. I think we should meet every Wednesday at 9 AM PDT and similar to others we can use google doc to keep track things. I started with this doc, but was waiting for cross language specs to get ready.

Sorry for posting this there but i didn't find the information anywhere else: what is the process to join the working group on the nodejs implementation ?

@vmarchaud typically participating in SIG (special interest group) consist of being active on this repo, attending regular meetings and contribute. There are different level of engagement with the project described here.

For the regular meeting - @open-telemetry/node-maintainers I'd suggest to take an initiative and schedule a meeting. Even just to get to know each other.

@mayurkale22 the doc isn't public is there a way to keep track of what SIG is up to?

The doc is public now, will use same doc to host meeting notes/action items.

@mayurkale22 I'm fine for every Wednesday at 9 AM PDT, i believe it's a little bit short for making one in few hours but we could schedule it for the 12 maybe?

This was a bit of a short notice here. Also please consider that we are spear over multiple timezones and that European folks may need to re-arrange their evening plans.
I get that we have to move fast and that's great but given the fact that decisions have been made on the meeting that were based on issues that were open for not even 2 days, an earlier heads-up would have been desirable.
