On March 5, 2026, we’re updating the OpenCost community meeting schedule so that contributors and users in the Americas, Europe/Middle East/Asia (EMEA) , and Asia-Pacific (APAC) can all join at a reasonable time. Here’s what’s changing and how to join.

Meeting schedule

Every 2nd Thursday at 10:00 AM EST, we hold an OpenCost community meeting. To support collaboration across time zones, starting March 5, 2026 we will alternate between two sessions each month:

  • One EMEA/APAC-focused meeting at 10:00 AM EST (15:00 UTC) (best for Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific): This meeting will be held March 5, and every 4 weeks after that
  • One Americas-focused meeting at 4:00 PM EST (21:00 UTC) (best for Americas): This meeting will be held March 19, and every 4 weeks after that

So each month there will be one meeting optimized for NA and one for EMEA/APAC, making it easier to attend from your region.

How to join

Why are we splitting the meetings?

OpenCost is used and contributed to from many regions. Holding one NA and one EMEA/APAC meeting per month at 10:00 AM EST gives each region a slot that’s more workable locally, so more people can join, share feedback, and collaborate without staying up late or getting up very early.

We hope to see you in an upcoming meeting. For more ways to connect, see the Community page.
