May meeting updates and thoughts going forwards

Heya all, This session ended up being more of a chat than a meeting - and maybe its easier to keep it that way? We set one piece of homework which was just that we've spoken a lot now about collaborting on something, however small, and it would be great to actually make that happen. Can people have a think about ways they could do that? Offers from me: * Does someone else want to start hosting this meetup, or have any ideas about making it more expansive? I am quite enjoying this meeting so happy to carry on but itd be nice to get some more input on what it is, who we are and whose welcome. I'd like to tell the world about it basically! * Parallel idea: would anyone want to host a public event or similar where we all talk about our work and the overall concept, a kind of community tech practitioners open session? * We have now done our first GFSC stream <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PYVmmFTmVY> - does anyone have a product or service they'd like us to highlight if we did another one? (would need paying for this) * Does anyone want me to do a community spotlight <https://gfsc.community/vote-out-covid-community-spotlight/> on the blog for their thing? (can do this for free / blog subscription) * Would anyone want to start producing a podcast as part of the blog, or become an author? * Does anyone want PlaceCal training and to be able to start using it with their clients? * If we did another lottery bid can anyone else lead it? Lemme know your offers and do get in touch if any of this chimes with you, Hopefully you all have an invite for next meeting too - 17 June at 12:30.
