Hi everyone!

Last week at JuMP-dev, we agreed on organizing a regular meeting to discuss the future of nonlinear programming in Julia/JuMP.

As a follow-up, I would suggest to organize our first meeting by the end of August. I have created a Doodle to find a schedule that suits everyone:  
[https://doodle.com/poll/arzzbbrk9dfi3m5d?utm\_source=poll#calendar](https://doodle.com/poll/arzzbbrk9dfi3m5d?utm_source=poll#calendar)

For the format, I would be in favor of following the organization of the JuMP-dev regular meeting:

- _before the meeting_, everyone can fill a Google Document to add a new topic to discuss during the meeting.
- _during the meeting_, we discuss each items on the agenda, from the start to the end.
- _after the meeting_, we complete the Google Document with a short summary of the points discussed during the meeting.

I have created a Google Document here, as a basis: [JuMP NLP developer call agenda/notes - Google Docs](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PXWmslx4iDMUuxsYhY3AmWkatZAiHVXyc9Wg3KXLYvA/)  
Feel free to edit by adding the points you would like to discuss!

I welcome any suggestion to improve the organization. For instance, we could also start every meeting with a short presentation, where one of us could present cutting edge research in nonlinear programming and/or Automatic Differentiation.

Towards first-class NLP supports in JuMP! 🚀

Cheers,  
François

Debriefing the results of the doodle, I would suggest to organize our first meeting on _Wednesday, August 25th_ at 6pm UTC.

I realize that the time might not be optimal for everyone, with the different time zones. Let me know if someone has any objection with this schedule.
