Last but not least, it’s time to open the floor!
@st810amaze – Yes, WCEU is coming up! And for anyone attending the event and want to have a discussion during the contributor day, please share your thoughts 
As not everybody may be able to attend, we can create an agenda then have a discussion on the day, and keep the conversation going either here in Slack or P2 
@alexcu21 – Well today was our cohort graduation and I feel grateful with all mentors and people that facilitated the program. One of my goal for this year is not only contribute to my local community but contributing to global and help people to know more about our community.
@gusa – I’ll ask a random question on behalf of the #sustainability team. If you look at the Sustainability Roadmap, you’ll see several projects (in the Contributing column) that are actually owned/managed by community team. The team was (still is) very new when corresponding issues (labeled as projects) were created in the Sustainability GitHub repo.
