regular meetings on the first Monday of every month.
These are recurring phone conference/GoToMeetings
in which we’ve been discussing visions and goals
for the group, as well as hearing about everyone’s
work and discussing any projects or work we’ve
encountered. A small group of 3–5 people have been
regularly attending.
