Hi, thanks for making the times, work for everyone globally. That is really appreciated.
I'm wondering if it is possible that you can advertise these via a linked in post. ( think everyones on linked in, or even if you have a mailing list ( old school ).
Blog post here - https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensource/introducing-aws-cdk-community-meetings/ Agenda coming soon! 🥳
Can we get the Google Calendar link as well? Or just the link to join the call?
You will find the ics file in both the blog post and the issue linked above.
ICS is not the same as Google Calendar link. Can we please then get the meeting/video link here please?
EDIT: I see the Zoom links added, that's good enough, thanks!

@praneetap This looks great, but as CDK is used outside the USA, it would be appreciated if for future announcements:
- The date is given in ISO 8601 or similar.
- The time zone is given as a UTC offset. I think most people would know their UTC offset, but not necessarily their PDT offset (keep the PDT for what I presume is your biggest audience if you want).
Thus 06/24/25 8am PDT --> 2025-06-24 15:00 UTC (8am PDT).
I followed the zoom link, and was the only one in the call? Did the meeting locaiton change somwhere?
We ended the call early since we didnt have folks join the second call. We are working on 1/finding a better timeslot for the second session and 2/advertising it more the next round. I will share the first call video soon, that time worked well for a lot of folks.
The first call time would be 3am for me. Not an idea time. Yes, I understand the world is not flat. I left feeling like this was just another example of how the cdk team engages with the people who are using it.
There is a lot more to CDK users than the people who lurk at cdk.dev.
How about an old school mailing list. Send out an ics invitation, people can respond, Its super easy.
Hi @praneetap, I missed the first call, and it would be great to catch up! Can the recording please be provided?
Thank you! 🙌
