  • Hellos and checkin in
Last week’s Action Points:
 * Chagai will show @Tatiana Around in Tech: done.
 * Jans will check on github if the issue of the pictures in contacts is listed yet: yet to do.
 * Tanja will look into the apps available on Slack for timezone differences. Precious experiences in the team with these apps wherent positive. Therefore discussed to add info ahout the different timezones in the direct message of the greetbot to inform new volunteers.
  • New topics / questions
   * Mariha gave an update on Warmshowers. She's pretty close to informing Warmshowers users, they will be updated in the next few days. To 20,000 users. Welcometomygarden said they are not equiped to handle that many users. Future collaboration with welcometomygardens could be a possibility. In the message there is a link to a survey. Volunteers are welcome to take a look at the survey. Chagai suggests specically pinging Farbenrausch to take a look at the survey. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdDrYb8AjccK2vRRTwt11YWpjawLTxiDMvhmyZjYZblVuNLcw/viewform
   * Chagai notes that the codi channel description of #general isnt up to date and will update this.
   * There is a bridge channel, whatsapp/telegram/matrix/slack for volunteers. Telegram (https://t.me/trustrootshelp), WhatsApp(bit.ly/trustrootshelp) and Matrix (#help:trustroots.website).
   * Translations are being rolled out for 5 languages. @Tanja made a draft for the blog about this, which will be edited by Mikael. Not all five languages are fully done due to react migration. Help for this and the translation of the other languages is going to be mentioned in the blog post.
   * Loberto offered his help with direct small tasks, but has no time to become part of projects at the moment.
  • Action points and outcomes
   *  Jans will check on github if the issue of the pictures in contacts is listed yet.
   *  Tanja will try putting an explainging the timezone of the general meeting in the greetbot message, and add the links of the bridged volunteers chat. If it doesn't work on her phone, she'll do it when she has access to a computer again. @Chagai has arranged a reminder message.
   * If you have time for a small task: take a look at the warmshowers survey and give feedback if you find something. That would be really helpfull for @mariha.
