I would be very excited to participate (as an audience member) in Pirk 101.

Also, a lesson learned from NiFi — tagging Jira tickets with “beginner” (when 
appropriate — not “beginner if you have 8 years of FBP experience”) helps new 
community members find small, insulated pieces they can contribute to without 
causing any harm and gets them invested and feeling accomplished with a low 
barrier to entry.
