5. Outreach to get more participants of our meeting (@Devin (she/her))

The main intention of starting this meeting is that we want to walk the talk. We want to make WordPress community as diverse and inclusive as possible and we need you to be part of the journey!

We just started the meeting for the APAC region (this is the second meeting) and we name it differently. We also learn from the Diverse Speaker Training group (#WPDiversity) but we want to be flexible and open for adjustments. We are still learning to best run the meeting and get more participants and volunteers to help grow the network.

We also need your help to spread the word so more community members can join the meeting and so we can learn from each other about making the WordPress community in our area more diverse and inclusive.

6. Updates, comments, questions, ideas (anyone)
