Hey everyone! I am writing to inform the community that I will be piloting regular office hours in the New Year where you can bring your questions or provide feedback. These have been added to the Community Calendar <https://carpentries.org/community/#community-events>, and I have also started a new Etherpad <https://pad.carpentries.org/director-of-community-office-hours> where you can find the call-in information. The times will be: * Every second Monday of each month at 20:00 UTC * Every third Monday of each month at 16:00 UTC * Every fourth Thursday of each month at 0:00 UTC Each month will have a theme or primary topic of discussion, but you are welcome to bring any topic of interest to the calls. Feel free to drop by at any time during these one-hour blocks. You can also schedule a 1:1 at any time using my Calendly <https://calendly.com/alycia-carpentries>.
The topic for January will be **community recognition and appreciation** as the Community Development Team starts to develop a more formal plan on how we recognize and show appreciation for all our community's contributions. * 9 January at 20:00 UTC (find your local time <https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=January+Office+Hours+1&iso=20230109T20&p1=1440&ah=1>) * 16 January at 16:00 UTC (find your local time <https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=January+Office+Hours+2&iso=20230116T16&p1=1440&ah=1>) * 26 January at 0:00 UTC (find your local time <https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=January+Office+Hours+3&iso=20230126T00&p1=1440&ah=1>) Hope to connect with some of you there! ------------------------------------------ This list is for the purpose of general discussion about The Carpentries including community activities, upcoming events, and announcements.
