The D&I team usually has at least one yearly meetup, and we are overdue! Let's plan a virtual meetup to spend time with each other, talk about the upcoming year, and craft a couple short and long term goals.
I would love to get as many people at the meetup as possible, so let's pick some dates that are pretty far out. How does March sound? I think weekend days would work well, so let's look at all the Saturday's & Sunday's in March. @bittin mentioned they will create a link for us to gather date preferences. I also think that one day is all we need, and something that people could be able to commit to. I am willing to get up early too ;)
We can use HopIn to get the automatic recording feature, as well as the many other features the platform provides, and help us maintain a structure.
Additionally I would like to setup a fun event for us to do, similar to the events we set up for the Release Party. We could use the same company, they were easy to work with. The events they offer are listed here: https://teambuilding.com/services/virtual-team-building
Looking forward to more thoughts, ideas, and input!
Created a poll now: https://framadate.org/fed-DI-virtual-march-2021 that expires end of February 2021, for voting for dates when people can attend in March 2021

Hi folks! This has been open for voting for over two weeks, with 9 responses, and there is a clear date that looks optimal.
Based on the responses, the D&I Team Virtual Meetup will be held Sunday March 21st, 2021. Looking at what has worked for past events, I would propose a general time frame of 1 PM UTC - 7 PM UTC. Then I would say we should break it down into 3-6 sessions. of 45 minutes or 1.5 hours.
Example Schedule (UTC): 1-1:30 Welcome & informal chat 1:30-2:30 Session: topic 1 2:30-3 Break 3-3:45 Session: topic 2 3:45-4:30 Session: topic 3 4:30-5:00 Break 5-6:30 Session: Fun Activity 6:30-7 Wrap up
Please provide feedback on this timeframe/format. Do you think this is enough time? Do you feel their is a good amount of break? Too much/too little overall?
Beyond making our schedule, I think an additional next step will be to create an agenda. Please leave agenda items here that you feel should be included in the meetup, and we will review at the next D&I meeting. Thanks!
@riecatnor +1! The schedule looks good to me and I could join for that Sunday date.
One topic I would like to bring up is identifying the next D&I Advisor to the Council. At the end of the Fedora 34 release cycle, I plan to end my term.
Hi folks! I continue to make progress on this meetup, and am getting excited to see everyone together :) I would love to get ideas/feedback from more folks-- my plan is to put together the meetup myself and for everyone to be able to show up with minds fresh for discussion instead of event planning ;)
I put together this hackmd for further planning/details, feel free to leave comments: https://hackmd.io/3HPn5xreRcCMbD8Mgd7c2A?view#Fedora-Diversity-amp-Inclusion-Team-Meetup-2021
