Hello friends! I would like to welcome you to the latest edition of the community team chat, being held on May 5, 2022!
As you know, the meeting is meant for all contributors on the team and everyone who is interested in taking part in some of the things our team does. Feel free to join us, even if you are not currently active in the team!
- Asia-Pacific / EMEA friendly meeting: 2022/05/05 12:00 UTC
- Americas friendly meeting: 2022/05/05 21:00 UTC
You will find a preliminary agenda for the meeting below. If you wish to add points to discuss, comment on this post or reach out to one of the team reps: @harishanker or @samsuresh. It does not need to be a blog post yet, the topic can be discussed during the meeting nevertheless. We use the same agenda for both meetings.
Deputy / Mentor / Contributor check-ins
What have you been doing and how is it going? What did you accomplish after the last meeting? Are there any blockers? Can other team members help you in some way?
