Compiler Team Steering Meeting

[nikomatsakis]

This issue exists to describe the compiler team steering meeting and to collect links about it. It is closed for comments since it's not meant to collect discussion; if you'd like to give feedback about the steering meeting, please feel free to open a topic in Zulip.

What is it

The steering meeting is our chance to discuss procedural topics, track our progress, and just generally step back from the "daily grind" of triage. It takes place every three weeks on Zulip.

How it works

The meeting begins with a 10 minute announcement period. We then turn to more in-depth discussion of this week's topic(s).

After the meeting, a summary is posted to the compiler-team repository. To aid with this, people use the :point_up: ☝️ emoji during the meeting to help highlight key comments that might want to be included in the summary.

The procedural stuff is more completely described here: https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/blob/master/procedures/steering-meeting.md
