@malvikasharan - tagging you here as I believe you drafted the original content around coworking calls! I'll follow-up by email with a bigger collection of all this compiled documentation too :) |
|
Noting here – after archiving these community calls, it might be worth revisiting the name of our "Quarterly Community Call". After the audit of community calls last year, and noting the way in which we use the term "community call" more broadly within the community to note all the different kinds of calls we organise, this name may need to evolve to something more distinct, perhaps something specifically denoting governance?

Uh oh! @aleesteele, the image you shared is missing helpful alt text. Check #3533 (comment). Alt text is an invisible description that helps screen readers describe images to blind or low-vision users. If you are using markdown to display images, add your alt text inside the brackets of the markdown image. Learn more about alt text at Basic writing and formatting syntax: images on GitHub Docs. |

Hey @Susana465 and @CeilidhWelsh - here's where you can take a look at the onboarding documentation! @malvikasharan & @AlexandraAAJ - would you both be able to take a look at the information about calls listed here? This is to update the existing chapter, and add in the information about the community forum, and other types of calls. We'll be able to link descriptions to them outwards. Thanks! |

Replace Community Calls with Turing Way Forum

| These calls may take on a more traditional meeting format, with a prepared agenda with particular points to be voted on by different members. Alternatively, it could also take on a more decentralised format that is aimed at gathering feedback from the organising body of the project, and or relay feedback from the Maintainer level to the Constitutional level of the project (see: [Liberating Structures](https://www.liberatingstructures.com/)). | ||

| In principle, these organising and governance meetings are still open for all to attend from the community as observers. |

I would add:
Modelled off a political town hall event these online sessions are an opportunity to better understand activities across the project and how decisions are made. Our aim is to leverage the expertise across our community and we explicitly invite you to review our processes and recommend improvements. We expect that the calls will be a mix of celebration, feedback, and opportunities to build connections with other organisations and initiatives around the world.
Currently, this call is hosted in English. This call will be recorded for use by participants, and will use Zoom's automatic captioning. This call may also involve live discussion, screen-sharing, and other interactive activities that may be internet bandwidth-intensive. Slides will be shared after the call. A shared document will be used for collaborative note-taking, capturing feedback and learning.

Thanks so much Alex! I'm saving this text here to add and edit this: These calls will provide an open forum for sharing project updates, discussing governance-related work and inviting feedback & involvement from our community – join us!

@richarddushime - Maybe we can add information here about joining the community calls in low-bandwidth environments?
