Housekeeping: archive old meeting notes into git

[tabbysable]

to help keep the google docs snappy, let's copy some of the old notes into documents here in this git repo.

Proposed plan:

• Keep the current year and the previous calendar year in the Google doc
• For each year older than that, copy all the meeting notes into a markdown doc for that year
• Get them committed and merged
• Once they are committed and merged, delete them from the tail of the Google doc

offhand thought: perhaps in a meeting-notes-archive directory, with subdirectories per subproject, and then names like 2022.md?

Maybe this was discussed already:

Would this mean our archived notes are open for whole internet v/s accessible as before to only k-dev mailing list members? If yes, are we all okay with that?

Hello @tabbysable. I am open to help with this activity. Please let me know if this is something I can work on.

Hi @tabbysable , would like to work on this issue. Can you assign this to me ?

Yeah, the notes docs are open for anonymous writes, so it will be good for the archived notes to be open too.

[tabbysable]

The three meeting notes docs that would benefit from archiving into git markdown are here:
SIG Security meeting
Tooling subproject
Docs subproject

@tturquette @lavishpal Thank you both for your offers to help! You could certainly work together if you liked.

Last time I tried something like this, there were a few ways to copy out of google docs into Markdown with retained formatting, but none of them were perfect. I recommend doing some searching to see if anyone has published a good script or tool for that, and then just giving a try to generate some Markdown from the old notes.

[tabbysable]

Please do not delete any of the old notes from the Google docs. I will do that once we have some good markdown files commited to git.

[tabbysable]

As a first step, we have archived all the old meeting notes into a separate read-only google doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BpmP6cmneyFYdf3zhuUVZmQ6_wdgl99TBTIzzyxbEGk/edit

Closing this issue because it is now much less pressing: the current-notes google doc is small and responsive again.
