Hi Flavio,

I'd continue promoting asynchronous communication, office hours and a good
use
of meetbot to generate good summaries (it's true that all IRC communication
is logged,
but it can be a lot of text to go through sometimes).

I'd propose we write training material on inclusiveness to be included in
the great work
of the upstream institute. We can use this to build and maintain awareness
in the
community.

It's important we don't think that training and educations are only for
new-comers into
the community. Especially after a few years in the community one may be
tempted
to fall into routines and/or preconceptions - it's important to keep an
open mind towards
people and ideas.

One idea that has been bouncing in mind is trainings for newly elected PTLs
or TCs or
any other interested individuals. I'm thinking especially of leaders since
their words
often bear a stronger impact on the community.

Perhaps self paced trainings where we present community guiding principles,
code of
conduct and vision or dedicated sessions at the PTG.

Faithfully,

Andrea Frittoli (andreaf)
