June and July were busy months for me all around, and I didn't get to as much of the "Needs attention" items as I intended. Following this email I'll send out separate threads for specific help with the governance and organizing the 2.1 release.

== Upstream 2021 7 June 2021
I'm combining this section because it was all one event. On 7 June I attended and spoke at Upstream 2021, an event billed as a "one-day celebration of open source, the developers who use it, and the maintainers who make it. My presentation used the new general talk template I put together, which is currently in Google Slides.
= Upcoming events
* OSPOCon Monday 27 September
* In person at Open Source Summit 27 - 30 September (co-located with OSPOcon)
* In person at All Things Open Monday 17 - 19 October
- And possibly Community Leadership Summit on Sunday 17 October
= Social media
We continued the series of tweets from the @RedHatOpen Twitter account, one for
each chapter of the book:
= Cross-stream work
== IEEE SA OPEN
In the Documentation and Curation sub-group, we worked on group formation details (team agreement, etc.) and began talking about the plan to tackle the community handbook.
In the Open Community Development Model, the sub-group is slightly newer than other groups and we just finished our team agreement. Group discussions right now are centering around identifying existing model resources we can base on or draw from.
In the Community Advisory Group, we worked on policy for projects in the CAG area, which we
then recommended to other advisory groups.
== Inclusive Naming Initiative
In the Language Workstream, we are collaborating on the process of how to write out a recommendation for a word or term, and will be working on the first one this month. Once the process is created, we can split the work up to get it all done. This is for bringing us to the first release of the INI word list.
In the Community & Tooling workstream, we are looking at the range of tools that already exist and the processes already tried, toward putting together recommendations and a toolkit for open source projects that want to adopt the INI word lists and processes.
= Needs attention
I'll start separate threads about these topics:
* Governance for this community
* Need a managing editor for the 2.1 version
* Printed books
* Community of practice meetups
* Interviews for open source way stories
