Have you asked the attendees what they'd like to do? (may sound rude but doesn't mean to be!) May lead to some interesting points and feedback, or a case of "we like it but I don't read up on Web stuff much" that's interesting to know too.

In the few CoPs I've helped organise over time:

  • Running a low-effort retro to see what's working and not working for folks can help - we did one which highlighted that a load of people wanted to dig into a specific subject, but no one had voiced that 😅
  • Rotating who's organising (preferably volunteering over voluntelling) can add a bit more variety - even if it's just the CoP leads/most senior folks to start with? Then can be rotated around with other folks too
  • Running a lean coffee was a good way to get to chat about things in a less pressured way than folks feeling they had to present something big for the session
  • Starting each session with a different engineer (who's been voluntold ahead of time) who does ~5-10 mins overview of their team, what they own and some of the stuff they've done gives a bit of an insight into what everyone does - depends on how much involvement folks get cross-team, but at a previous company this was super useful as it was a bit more silo'd

Tips for generally upping engagement, or for folks sharing things they've seen around the Web / have worked on recently that is interesting, or a mix of both? How many people are usually in the CoP meetings?

Does anyone have communities of practice at work with regular meetings? We have a (remote) monthly web dev catch up which I’d like to use for showcasing what’s going on in web around the company and also in the world of web more generally, but right now it feels a little too “Ms Koonin’s Compulsory Class Sharing Time”. Obvs people who don’t want to share/speak don’t have to, but any tips for things that have worked?

for no particular reason, thinking today about the time my workplace organized a macrame crafting session for the queer ERG and the instructor was like “wow you’re great at this! have you done macrame before?” to some of the participants and they were like “no but I… know how to tie a lot of knots” 😏 😂😂😂😂😂

Looking back on the years 2017-2019, a period etched in my memory, I devoted every spare moment to bringing people together.  Code First Girls 2017 HackMed 2018 As a fervent advocate for organ…

If your organization actively discourages you from asking questions, digging deeper, or seeking improvements, do the following in order: 1. Get 2. The 3. Hell 4. Out If you stay too long, the corpo brainworms will make it easier to just do the things that have always been done.

Attached: 1 image Every so often, you'll come across someone who seems okay. Deep down, though, they're troubled, confused, envious - and above all, sick to death of living a lie. It's me! I was that someone. After 30 years of pretending to be a boy, I put a stop to that. You can see here what happened next: I became the confident, friendly and happy woman that I was supposed to be all along! This #TransgenderAwarenessWeek, remember that we're all just trying to make the most of the life we have. Someone else you know may be wrestling with these same thoughts, and they deserve your kindness and empathy like everyone else. #Trans #TimelineTuesday
