🚦 What’s next

We're spending this week and next standing up our Steering Team, which will help lead all things operations — volunteer coordination, project scoping, internal documentation, and more.

Interested in joining the Steering Team?
Email us at [email protected] and I’ll follow up.
Our first meeting is Wednesday, and we’ll start planning what needs to get done.

• Discord (work in progress): https://discord.gg/9jdUGwfF
  For volunteers and project teams to connect + organize. If you're only a spectator, please hold off on joining in here.

🛠 Project updates

We have one confirmed project, and we're actively talking with several more groups to assess fit and staffing. If you know of an organization that could use support, please have them email [email protected]. I'd been waiting until we met with potential volunteers before really putting out a bat signal for project partners, but we're going to start ramping that up after the steering team gets going.

🗂 Coming soon

Over the next week, we're aiming to:

• Document our project scoping and staffing process
• Organize guidance for volunteer roles and team structures
• Draft MOUs and admin templates for partners

This is only possible because so many of you showed up ready to support our community. It’s seriously cool, and I’m excited for what we’ll build together. Look for more details about an in-person mixer sometime in April, soon!

💬 Stay connected

You can also share links to this newsletter to folks who want to follow our progress.

We’ve got a few ways to keep in touch as things grow, though besides Linkedin, they're all going to be sparse for a while:
