I am (finally) following in the footsteps of the sensational @sarina by scheduling an AMEA community meetup.
Like the the last AMEA meetup, this one is at 0700 UTC (and if that time makes your eyes water, then you’ll understand why we who occupy the other half of the world need our own meetups! ).
I’ve invited everyone off the current CC list who I suspect is in a favourable timezone. But I’ve surely missed people, and absolutely everyone is welcome to attend, so please add yourself in and come along!
Agenda
In the spirit of the first meet-up, we’ll keep it simple, and discuss:
Brief introductions - name, location, your area of focus in Open edX
Eveyone is also very welcome to reply on this thread with things to discuss during or after the meetup. We’ll post notes in Confluence if any interesting action items arise, and will post a link to the meeting recording afterwards.
Wishing everyone a great year ahead, and hope to see you at the meetup!
Thanks for organizing this meetup. It was great to get to know you and to chat with you.
I created a slack-channel for our group. Feel free to join: #amea-community
It was great to put faces with names, and we had some good discussions! Looking forward to chatting more on Discourse/Slack, and seeing as many of you as possible at the conference, hearing your talks and discussions there.
Weren’t able to attend the last AMEA meetup? No sweat - the next one’s coming up next month! We’ll be meeting at 07:00 UTC on Thursday 16 Feb. Details to follow…
P.s. @jill Thanks for your stellar organisational skills for the previous meetup. Big shoes to fill!
It’s almost time for the next AMEA (Africa, Middle East, Asia/Australia) community meetup. So if you find yourself anywhere east of Senegal and west of New Zealand on 16 Feb, please join in! The meetup is a nice way for community members to get together and chat about anything and everything Open edX …or just to get to know one another a bit better .
Anybody and everybody is welcome to attend, so please spread the word! I’ve invited everyone from the previous meetup’s invite, but I’m sure there are more community members that would like to attend. If you know of anyone, please give them a holler (and send them a link to this post).
Agenda
I’ve added a few items to the agenda below, but would love to hear your suggestions! Please ping me on this thread if you have any ideas for discussion points. I’m all ears.
Lightning intros
Your name, location, and your connection to Open edX
Open edX Conference 2023
Are you attending the conference, either in-person or online? What are you hoping to gain/learn/experience?
Help from the community
Could you do with some help from the community (ideas, reviews, collaboration etc) on current or future projects?

It was me and @jill who attended the meetup and ended up having a fantastic conversation about everything. We(me and @jill) nominated @Cassie to organize the next meet-up (tag , you are it !)
Kidding, we thought you will be interested to do that let me know if this doesn’t work.
Hope more people will be able to attend the next one.

It was so good to get to know you all a bit better, and to hear about what you’re working on at the moment.
. Hope to see you all then!
