Noah asks to move the meeting to another day/time bc. he has choir rehearsa levery monday at 5pm UTC and needs to leave home at ~6:15

Martin will set up a Doodle to check time The Support team works on a guideline document including ethical principles of the platform. Everyone is invited to read through the work in progress and add/comment. https://codi.kanthaus.online/7P_XQoCoTCqnSfjdHDrFHw?both

I will take the lead on populating/collecting info for team.trustroots.org /Paula

Ping Paula re. this. By Martin. Hlib thinks it’s a good idea to have a volunteer info page Further development of /teams might be good There’s a donation page (https://www.trustroots.org/donate) that is linked to at the bottom of any given page. Seeing as we don’t accept donations we should probably remove it as well as the links. /Martin A.

Anyone feeling like taking it? Otherwise open an issue for it on GitHub and leave it for now? /Martin A. There are references like Namecheap and DigitalOcean though, so perhaps restructuring rather than deleting? /Martin A. There’s also https://www.trustroots.org/donate/help and https://www.trustroots.org/donate/policy References are being worked on. I’m writing here to communicate it… maybe there more info on Monday /Loberto

One idea to promote good reference usage is to have a proper campaign educating people:

start with a good blog post about it, shared on all social media mention it in our next newsletter write in the FAQ “References good practices” write a wiki article about references, why giving a negative reference is not a bad thing Additional topics/questions
