Moving into Season 1, a significant milestone the Community Guild is looking to reach is to define its Ethos.

Stop by the #👫-community-general channel to join the conversation and get involved!
As the Onboarding process goes through changes, your suggestions are welcome! Stop by the #👫-onboarding channel to share your thoughts, and if you have any documents around the process, drop those in the “Onboarding cheat sheet” thread in the same channel.
