- New topics / questions

Bea proposed to plan an online call to talk about traveling during the pandemic and record this to share with the community.
The e-mail notifications still don’t always work. Suggestions have been made to look into paying some developers to fix this bug.
Apparently latetly there’s multiple worrying reports at the support team about (sexual) abuse among TRmembers. We’re planning to write a seperate blog about it and look into how we can educate our members. Tanja is in touch with Oded about this.
Mariha en Chagai have devoted some weeks working on the federated platform and it’s features! Exciting!!

- Action points and outcomes

Chagai made a github issue for the email notifications.
There’s a proposition too to move the newsletter from the blog to the platform itself because the newsletter mostly end up in members spam folder.
Chagai is going to make some print screens about the work he and Mariha did.
Oded, Tanja and Shawn are going to have another meeting about the safety issue and what we can go to increase safety.

THANKS TO MIKAEL FOR HIS EFFORT ON PROBLEM OF THE EMAIL NOTIFICTATIONS/SPAM <3<3
