Current role list and workflow reminder

[Chaoyi Zha]

Hi Paul,

Having a weekly gathering sounds like a good idea, especially to get caught
up on the latest events. However, 1200 UTC (8 AM EST?) is a bit of an
inconvenient time for me. What day will this be happening at, and is the
date flexible?

Thanks!
