let's keep the sync call until we are launched at the workshop. I expect
that we will transition the board business to the mailing list and then
only formally meet less frequently once most of the business is
conducted on the list.

The main reason for a call until launch is to deal with the sync and
coordination. I expect that we can move to IRC/ mail list for 95+% of
the business after the workshop
