Q1: Going forward, what kinds of communication do you want? (select all that apply)
Q2: What additional communication channels do you suggest?
- I have liked the slack channel, maybe discord, or trello?
- A more informal chat space, maybe something that can facilitate announcements, text chat, attachment sharing and group voice calls. Have used Discord/Google Chat for this but open to anything.
- I do find the newsletter helpful too!
- Monthly-ish roundtable sessions could perhaps be less frequent (every other month or quarterly?)
- In-person meet-ups at conferences or other venues that many of us might be attending.
- In person meet ups when many of us might be at conferences and events
- Any or all of the above could be helpful, I think just general reminders to connect and check in with the group would be helpful.
- Monthly Zoom sharing
