GCB Meeting tomorrow
by Marisa.Loach 12 Aug '26

12 Aug '26

Hello 🪑GCB! For those of you who don’t follow the matrix channel, we’ve decided to go ahead with tomorrow’s meeting despite some of us being on holiday. Rather than following the usual agenda, this meeting will be a follow-on from the GCC BoF on How to build and structure one’s community: the quid of overlapping communities. Our goal will be to start defining the roles and responsibilities of SIG leaders so that we can provide better support for new groups and ensure that we know if any groups have become inactive (i.e. available for adoption by new leaders). If you have any ideas about this (and aren’t enjoying a break) then please join if you can. If you aren’t available, you’ll still have a chance to have your say on this as we’ll share our work after the meeting.

GCC Lightning Talks - add your SIG by June 1st
by Marisa.Loach 29 May '26

29 May '26

Hello GCB! Just a quick reminder that if you want to speak during the Community Lightning Talks at GCC you should add a slide for your SIG here by Monday (June 1st): https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1bXtYGbxBjkXuj_fIZawHNzIRsFiaoTR9B7e… You can just put in a placeholder for now so that we know how many people want to talk. There is a template in the slidedeck if you'd like to use it, but it's not required. We have a 20 minute slot in total, so I'll let the speakers know how much time they'll have once we've confirmed the number of SIGs taking part.

⌚️GCB Meeting on September 9th

29 Aug '25

Hello 🪑GCB! Galaxy Community Board I hope you all had a chance to relax over the summer, but since I’m sure you’re all looking forward to the next GCB meeting, I wanted to remind you that it’s scheduled for the 9th of September (GCB Meeting - September - Are we meeting yet?<https://arewemeetingyet.com/London/2025-09-09/13:00/GCB%20Meeting%20-%20Sep…>) I’ll be taking over as chair of the Community Board now that Wendi has moved on to her new role at HDR-UK. Wendi has left me with plenty of templates and checklists to help keep the GCB organised and since she will still be my supervisor, she’ll get to hear about everything the community board is up to. Please let me know if there are any topics you would like to be added to the agenda for this or any future meetings. The purpose of the GCB is to make your lives easier as community leaders, so this is your chance to make sure we’re talking about what matters to you. I hope to see you then, Marisa Actions! ⭐Check out/add to our 📝meeting agenda<https://docs.google.com/document/d/19zv4rata-uVhFW43S8v_Fw83RVYq6jDGXy-1T8A…> Next meeting 👋🏾GCB Meeting - September - Are we meeting yet?<https://arewemeetingyet.com/London/2025-09-09/13:00/GCB%20Meeting%20-%20Sep…> 🗓️Community Board Google Calendar<https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?height=600&wkst=1&ctz=Europe%2FL…> 🗓️Community Board iCalendar<https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/04046604a4f181649420da4335310d7a5…> Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87443808126?pwd=QjZ3TEJmSVBpdHgrQUQwOGkraFM2UT09 Meeting ID: 874 4380 8126 Passcode: nerdsunite [The Open University logo] Marisa Loach, Postgraduate Researcher Life, Health & Chemical Sciences open.ac.uk<http://www.open.ac.uk/> The Open University, Walton Hall, Milton Keynes, MK7 6AA
