Minutes:

1. About meet up
   We held the first Apache IoTDB offline meetup successfully in 29 November. We mainly talked about the experience of using IoTDB and the development of it. But as it's the first time, we have many aspects to improve.
   
   
   1. Add free talk
      In last meetup, the main activities we held were the lectures about IoTDB using and developing. We got a lot from these lectures. But the offline meetup is also a good chance to help community members get to know each other. So I think, we can add free talk in meetup, maybe academic or not, to offer this chance.
      
      
   2. Bring the summary of meetup back to community
      For various reasons, some friends in the community can't join meetup offline. Therefore, we need to record the meetup by video and doc, and share the summary of meetup to them by mailing list or IoTDB website.
      
      
2. Community gift
   We plan to design some community themed little gifts for contributors who has contributions (code, doc or something else) to the community. At present, we have completed the design of mouse pad. Next, we can collect the personal information of the contributors to mail these gifts.
   

   

   

3.    Call for community mentors
   We used to propagate IoTDB in many Chinese universities, and many students are interested in IoTDB. However, the development threshold of IoTDB may be difficult for some newcomers who have no development experience.
   So we think if some community members are familiar with some aspects of IoTDB and interested in developing new people. They can be community mentors to help these newcomers by explaining some code and introducing some simple issues etc.
   We can start an enrollment program to recruit mentors, and after that start a vote about whether they can be the mentors.
   
   
4. About IoTDB publicity
   For a long time, due to the lack of special attention to publicity, the effect of IoTDB publicity is not good. This also leads to the lack of contributors and the unknown situation of IoTDB.
   Therefore, next we can try to put IoTDB's promotional materials, documents and conference videos like the meetup video on more platforms, like IoTDB website, WeChat official account, Bilibili or even Tiktok.
