Housekeeping
- We have an open call for note takers and triage facilitators. These both are great ways to get involved for new contributors but everyone is welcome to help out. Let us know if you are interested in the comments.
- Contributions to the Design Team is always welcomed. Please ping @estelaris or @chaion07 and they will guide you through.

Discussion
WordCamp EU 2021 is fast approaching, and the marketing team asked us if we had ideas for workshops or other design team content. Currently @estelaris is communicating with @abhanonstopnewsuk and @OGlekler in regards to this. @karmatosed also suggested a Figma workshop. @ibdz said he was going to reach out to @joen about collaborating on the workshop.
If you have more ideas or are interested in helping out then please let the team know or message either @estelaris or @chaion07 on Slack.
