Hi Sandra, Thank you for reaching out and a warm welcome to you!
The first set of Membership Council meetings kicked off on Monday and came to a close today, that's why there aren't any more listed in the Calendly link shared in the initial message. We will be summarising discussions from this first set of Membership Council meetings shortly, and you can expect an update from our end in the coming weeks. In the meantime, please have a look at upcoming community calls in the community discussions Etherpad http://pad.carpentries.org/community-discussions and sign up for any that you can attend. Community discussions are a great way to meet others in the community and hear about ongoing initiatives and activities. The Carpentries community in Africa also holds monthly meetings, and this Etherpad https://pad.carpentries.org/ZA-community-call has details about upcoming meetings, and notes from previous discussions. Please have a look around, and let's check in again early next week. Welcome Sandra, we are really glad to have you join the community.
