Next meeting (November), we will each share two things that make running a community either easier or more useful. So prepare a couple of ideas for sharing and pop them in the Agenda<https://docs.google.com/document/d/19zv4rata-uVhFW43S8v_Fw83RVYq6jDGXy-1T8Aju4s/edit#heading=h.2w7gg5e2fl2>! Actions ⭐️Fill in community needs<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Oo78Inlg89y-j5vNCBjGVWKFf9sXt1EP-mAcjbkktuI/edit?usp=sharing> by Sept 18th - this is our chance to enact change across the Galaxy ecosystem! Get in! ⭐️Misconceptions paper team - get yourselves back together! ⭐Inaugural Regional Community meet - Volunteer needed! * The Regional Communities are currently not well represented in GCB, and our timetable largely focuses on scientific user groups rather than regional. We would therefore like to introduce a regional community-specific meet-up for Regional chairs to share ideas, needs, ask questions and give advice. We need a volunteer (who is currently chairing a regional community, or trying to build one!) to run this! ⭐Continue building exciting and brilliant communities!
