Hi all! Based on the when2meet scheduling poll, I've chosen Monday, October 7 at 2pm PT / 5pm ET / 9pm UTC for our next call 🌟 Zoom link to join: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/93946783869?pwd=z6B1Kv2weil3bOas7dtPuqTbXEhqhV.1 Our topic will be: taking action on needs identified so far. Looks like we're converging on a funding brainstorm, especially. There's been some great discussion in our Discord <https://discord.gg/xJsZChXXpF> regarding funding opportunities and how we might frame a collaborative proposal together… so feel free to jump in and keep that going between now and then! I sent calendar invites to anyone who responded to the poll or that I could remember having attended a call recently... just let me know if you'd like me to send you one, too. Other action items: Continue to add resources, programs, etc. (anything FLOSS mentoring related!) to this spreadsheet <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fddIaA5JYGRhy1Wx6tjhjSfc-hwC9_-hZVb…> Let me know if you’d like to help work on the repository/barebones website for a curated collection of resources See you next month!
