SeaGL 2024 Kick-Off, TONIGHT, 1/29 @ 5pm PT

[Wm Salt Hale]

Hi All,

Apologies for the late notice, I thought this went out last week. If
you can't make it, no worries, there will be plenty of other
opportunities to get involved early!

Thank you for the responses. It looks like this year (at least for
those who have said they are available) we'll be meeting on Mondays at
5pm Pacific Time (Tuesdays at 01:00 UTC).

To that end, we'll be holding our first meeting **tonight**, January 29th!

Hopefully we'll get a number of folks there and more in the coming
weeks. If you generally can't make this time, but want to get more
involved, please let me know as soon as possible so we can make
alternate arrangements.

A reminder, SeaGL is volunteer-run and we generally break work down
into the following committees. Please consider which one(s) you'd be
interested in participating with:

> - Attendee Experience: Focusing on attendee matters and prioritizing the SeaGL community.
> - CoC (Code of Conduct): Making sure the policies and protocols in place keep SeaGL a safe space.
> - Finance: Keeping an eye on the SeaGL books and issuing reimbursements.
> - IDEA: Promoting inclusion, diversity, equity, and access at SeaGL and beyond.
> - Partnerships: Connecting SeaGL with other groups, organizations, and sponsors.
> - Programming & Flow: Packing the SeaGL program with amazing content.
> - Promotion & Outreach: Spreading the word about SeaGL world wide.
> - SRE/Technical: Central nest for SeaGL technical operations.
> - Volunteers: Keeping the SeaGL staff happy and recruiting new volunteers to the flock.

Please invite your feathered friends as we'll need plenty of help to
make this a most excellent twelfth SeaGL!
