    4. These three tickets are good first issues for anyone who wants more experience working on the D&I Team docs. #116 is most important and is about sharing correct info about our meetings. #142 and #143 cover event outreach we have done in the past and getting those into our docs. (jwf, 14:11:01)
    5. HELP: The D&I Team needs help on some of our Fedora Docs tickets! https://pagure.io/fedora-diversity/issues?status=Open&priority=20 (jwf, 14:11:06)
    6. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Hack_session (jwf, 14:16:51)
    7. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Hack_session (jwf, 14:17:21)
    8. ACTION: jwf Open new ticket about D&I Team docs hack sessions once or twice a month (due: 2020-08-17) (jwf, 14:20:10)

    1. https://pagure.io/fedora-diversity/issue/136 (jwf, 14:21:16)
    2. General ticket for organizing FWD 2020. This ticket is the main ticket and is a little disorganized. We should identify the top tasks to work on in August and break them out into new tickets. (jwf, 14:21:22)
    3. ACTION: siddharthvipul to request new badges for Virtual FWD 2020 (nasirhm, 14:27:15)
    4. Global or regional? Team is unsure if we have bandwidth and time for organizing global events. We have never done that before. Supporting local, smaller events is easier for us to plan with our limited bandwidth/time. (jwf, 14:38:52)
    5. AGREED: Pick a 3-day window in September for FWD, create a poll for figuring out specific dates, use Hopin for a global event featuring content local organizers. (jwf, 14:46:45)
    6. Note: There are a lot of "if's" and open questions about how this will work. We have never done this before! So we will figure out some details as we go, and we will adapt to changes to our plans as best we can. (jwf, 14:47:20)
    7. ACTION: siddharthvipul ashlyna: Work together on making a new poll to send out about which weekend in September for the global FWD event (jwf, 14:51:27)

    2. At GNOME GUADEC 2020, Fedora D&I team members attended the GNOME D&I team Birds of a Feather session. The GNOME D&I team wants to get more involved with global diversity events. We mentioned FWD as something we have done for years. The GNOME folks were interested in joining forces with Fedora on this! (jwf, 14:53:58)
    3. At Nest 2020, we discussed for a very short time about collaborating with Regina Nkemchor Adejo about this but did not get far. (jwf, 14:54:28)
    4. ACTION: jwf Reach out to GNOME D&I folks and co-conspire to schedule a meeting date/time via WhenIsGood (jwf, 14:56:44)
    5. We should gather context from GNOME D&I folks in advance of the call (jwf, 14:57:15)
    6. do they want to do a GNOME women's day along side of FWD, OR do they want to participate in FWD? (jwf, 14:57:27)
