Happy New Year! I will be facilitating a Discussion Host Onboarding on 7-January. You are encouraged to attend one of the onboarding sessions if you can. Details can be found on the *community-discussions etherpad* <https://pad.carpentries.org/community-discussions>.
**Note, the link to the community-discussions etherpad is *https://pad.carpentries.org/community-discussions <https://pad.carpentries.org/community-discussions>* We’re creating a set of *Community Discussions* <https://docs.carpentries.org/topic_folders/instructor_development/instructor_discussion_sessions.html> - pre/post workshop discussions, themed discussions, and Carpentries Conversations - that will all qualify for the ‘discussion’ component of instructor training checkout and provide opportunities for more topics, more people to participate, and small group discussions. If you're interested in leading a Community Discussion, attend the host onboarding at either 0200 UTC <https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Community+Discussion+Host+Onboarding&iso=20190107T02&p1=1440&ah=1> or 1900 UTC <https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Carpentries+Community+Discussion+Host+Onboarding&iso=20190107T19&p1=1440&ah=1> to learn more.
