@adrianmoisey_gitlab any interest in speaking at the Atlanta GitLab meetup while you're there? :)

@johncoghlan_gitlab You mentioned D&I on the call today. Coincidentally, I think I found a potential D&I issue in a change slated for GitLab: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/207495#note_298077604

I think this impacts heros too - the change would make it harder to contribute.

Thanks for calling that out and your comments on the issue, @jamestharpe_gitlab. I'm going to take a deeper look into this. If other Heroes and community members have any thoughts, please comment.

@nuwe1_gitlab
@raju249_gitlab We can have our first session this week and since you are our first speaker I guess you can choose a day when you are most comfortable to do the interview where you will be sharing your awesome journey as a hero Yay :tada: #soExcited

@raju249_gitlab
It is a public holiday tomorrow here in India, So I will be at home. We can do it tomorrow if you have time.
KAREGYEYA MARVIN
@nuwe1_gitlab
@VladimirAus Yeah sure. I haven't yet finalized on like the interview dialogue so am guessing you could pitch in for this :slight_smile:
Rajendra kadam
@raju249_gitlab
Yes, we can have some questions for the interviewee so that any person watching it can follow maybe?
KAREGYEYA MARVIN
@nuwe1_gitlab
@raju249_gitlab I think tomorrow would be too soon. How about on Wednesday or Thursday just so that we get the questions ready.
Rajendra kadam
@raju249_gitlab
Lets do it on Saturday then? I might find it difficult to squeeze time on Wed, Thurs and Friday.
KAREGYEYA MARVIN
@nuwe1_gitlab
Saturday is favorable for me but I am not sure @johncoghlan_gitlab and maybe some other people who would like to attend the call will be able to make it then.
John Coghlan
@johncoghlan_gitlab
No need to schedule around me. Find a time that works best for you two and I'll join if I am able.
KAREGYEYA MARVIN
@nuwe1_gitlab
@raju249_gitlab I think we can schedule a time on Saturday then :slight_smile: .

KAREGYEYA MARVIN
@nuwe1_gitlab
I am pleased to announce that we will be having a video session where @raju249_gitlab will be sharing his journey as Hero this Saturday at 09:30 UTC :tada: :balloon: so anyone interested feel free to join in on the call or you can share your thoughts for what you would love to hear him talk about.
Rajendra kadam
@raju249_gitlab
We can also let folks in contributors channel know this since we have everyone there, we have heroes in this channel already :sweat_smile:
Folks in contributors might find this more useful than us.
KAREGYEYA MARVIN
@nuwe1_gitlab
Yeah sure that sounds like a great idea :slight_smile:

Or early next week (since I seem to have lost track of time). :)
