Something worth discussing if anyone does show up to the town hall today:
Goos and I have been trying to identify the root cause of some recent latency that users have been noticing between the Matrix bridge and IRC. Messages from IRC are appearing in Matrix immediately, but occasionally messages from Matrix are not being sent to IRC for 5-10 minutes. Goos thinks it could be a locking issue in postgres caused by users who are in large channels on other homeservers.
Matrix / Synapse support channels have not given us any helpful insight, and we have yet to find anyone else reporting similar issues on GitHub.
We would like to schedule another maintenance window for the Matrix server to upgrade to the latest version (there have been a few major updates released over the past couple months).
Is there any time in particular that works best for everyone? I'm thinking Wednesday night, March 8th for a maintenance window of a couple hours.
