The channel is doing well and continuing to grow.
Do folks have any feedback that would help improve your experience of the group and the value that it offers you and the community?
Additionally, if you have any suggestions for our weekly Fun Discussion Topics please send them to @kcrockett!

We shared posts on September 15/16th and September 23 about the India Women’s speaker workshop to push last minute registrations.
Coming up next:

Please help us promote the October 13 Inclusion workshop. Social going out on Thursday (today)!
8 Daylight savings — changing the meeting time in November? (@jillbinder)
Thinking about making our meetings 5pm UTC during Daylight savings and 6pm UTC when Daylight savings ends. This would keep it at 10am Pacific / 1pm Eastern all of the time. Everyone in the meeting agreed.
9 Other Updates + Next meeting facilitator (anyone)
@juliarosia will facilitate the next meeting.
