Hey everyone, So right now, I have a problem. And it is partially caused by me. It is that there are a lot of private conversations happening and no action taking place. I think part of the problem is there has not yet been a space where everyone can voice their concerns, suggestions, offers, requests, etc. and get responses in a relatively immediate time. Also, without this first conversation, we cannot produce action in this community. Now, since we have many people in this conversation, from the currently not-so-sunny state of CA to the even less-so-sunny continent of Europe, finding one time when people can meet online will be practically impossible and probably a lot of my time I could spend elsewhere. What I suggest is that this Saturday (from 9 am Parisian time/3amEST/12amPST) for 24 hours, we open a post in which people bring forward their concerns, suggestions, where they will take action, etc. We then will see on Sunday where things stand. At that point, people will start working in certain directions and we can meet again at another moment to see what has been completed, where we are having problems, where something new and interesting has come up, etc. So I will give you, let's say, oh...24 hours to let me know if this time is horrific for you. Tomorrow night, I will let you know whether it's a go or not.
