As you can read here, @jenmylo and I had been talking about merging the Community and Events groups, for reasons enumerated in that post. TL;DR: the community outreach group has wound up mostly being connecting with contributors from other groups, with a giant amount of overlap with Events. This post is to see what the Events group thinks about merging our groups! 🙂

It’s fine with me if there is not a separate community function that would suffer from the merger. The dividing line is a hard one to draw.

We have discussions on our mailing list that don’t relate to actual meetings, but the events are our raison d’etre.
