We have been running the review club for a bit and we would like to increase the engagement and hear from everyone what could be improved in order to make the sessions more accessible and attractive.

Currently the session is running on every second Friday and the sessions are usually published here https://ldk.reviews/ beforehand. The sessions run in a chat format in the LDK discord channel.

The main goal of the sessions is to allow new contributors to raise questions and get a the chance to discuss the merits of a PR with with other developers and get more confidence to contribute to the code base in the future.

A few suggestions were discussed while at Advancing Bitcoin:

1. Have voice sessions instead of chat(Can be potentially transcribed on the go by the platform we would use)
2. Change the current time as its more tricky for EU/Asia based participants to join on Friday evening
3. Allow participants to decide whats the session about

I would love to hear what you guys think and how we can improve these sessions.

Originally the LDK review club was scheduled to happen biweekly on Tuesday at 6pm UTC and I was taking part to the hosting maintenance. I won't have time to host any review sessions during the coming years so marking "up for grabs" the LDK review club hosting. Beyond, I don't think I do have the qualities of patience and calmness required to be a good teacher so any other active contributor to LDK will be a better fit than myself.

This is not a high commitment bar -- You can count 2/3 hours only of your time to prepare a session. Further it's a great opportunity to stay up-to-date on the significant works happening in LDK and in Lightning. Maintenance could be also shared between many contributors at it's done for the Bitcoin Core review club one. The communication infrastructure is already ready.
