+title: "Opening up the Core Team agenda"
+author: Pietro Albini
+team: the Core Team <https://www.rust-lang.org/governance/teams/core>
+---
+
+The Core Team works on project-wide policy questions on all sorts of matters,
+as well as generally monitoring the overall health of the project. While some
+of the discussed topics are sensitive (related to personal issues, finances, or
+security) and can’t be shared outside the Core Team, a lot of them are not.
+
+Much of the activity of the Core Team happens during weekly “triage” calls,
+where we discuss and make decisions on the items brought to our attention. Last
+year, we started opening up those calls by recording the parts where
+non-sensitive topics are discussed and uploading the videos [on our YouTube
+channel][yt]. While the videos provide the full context and nuance of the
+discussion, they take a good amount of time to watch, and referring to parts of
+the discussion is not always practical.
+
+Continuing with the effort of opening up our meetings, we’re happy to announce
+that the public agenda of those calls is now recorded in [issues inside the
+rust-lang/core-team][issues] repository! Each discussed topic will have its own issue,
+and we will provide updates each week with a summary of what we discussed
+during the call.
+
+We hope this setup will allow people to easily follow what’s on the Core Team’s
+plate by subscribing to either all the activity in the repository or just to
+the issues you care about. We will still continue to publish recordings of the
+calls for the people who care to listen to the whole discussion.
+
+We’ve decided at this time to limit permissions to post on the issues to the
+Core Team only, and possibly invited collaborators as relevant to particular
+topics. If you have an item you’d like us to discuss or if you have thoughts on
+an existing topic, please email [[email protected]].
