I’d still be confused by that notation tbh. I only recently joined a company and the last time I worked in industry was 2 years ago, so I am very unaccustomed to hearing it. Plus, the meaning of “Q2” is company-specific, so you would have to define it when using it for the first time.
I think calendar quarters (e.g. Q1 = Jan/Feb/Mar) are fairly widely used and understood?
In any case, the EAG organisers seem some notation to indicate that they’re hoping to hold an event during a rough period (e.g. summer) but don’t have a specific date (or even month) yet. If seasons are no good, we need some alternative.
Thanks for pointing this out! You’re right, and I’ve edited the post to clarify.
Wanted to flag that the EAG website still says “summer” and “fall”.
Good spot.
If we want to avoid seasons but also be vague, quarters (e.g. “Q2 2022”) could work?

Thanks for flagging this! I’ll update the website with “likely June, July, or August” and similar language for now.
