@jzb Good to see you this week!

Drop in with a question, share what you've been navigating, or just listen.

In this session we're also opening up a conversation about AI: how it's affecting community work, what feels helpful, what doesn't, etc.

Zoom link goes in #community-health in Drupal Slack before we start.

MidCamp Coffee Exchange is back.

Bring a bag of coffee, swap with another Drupal human, and leave with something delightful. Think community bonding, but with beans instead of Malört. Which is probably best for everyone.

I wrote an article about why I use #VersionControl for my local files for Both.org. Files change frequently, often go through multiple revisions, and benefit from clear history especially when it comes to time to use them for collaboration with other folks..

A lot of my work for the Linux Foundation Education team is helping people collaborate on certification content.

I wrote about that process and why it matters in this article for @LinuxGeek46 including the coordination, facilitation, and care that happen long before a badge exists.
