Update README.md on the community of practice repo

Opened this issue · 1 comments

Overview

We need the readme to help people to navigate the communities of practice.

Action Items

  • Add the missing links
    • WIKIs
    • README.md
    • Meeting Links (zoom)
    • instructions for running a CoP
      • Each CoP leads at the beginning of the meeting should ask if people have access to the google drive by sending a message into the chat with a link to the roster that says:

Please try to open this document. If you can't open it, please put your email address here in the chat, and I will add you to the google drive for our community of practice.
Then once they do that, you add them to the google drive and then tell everyone to try to the roster link again. Add themselves.

Once all have been added, slack bonnie or olivia their github handles and the name of the CoP so that they can be added to it.

Communities of Practice started at Hack for LA in 2020, post-Covid. These communities have been a vital connection point in our fully remote organization. They have enabled us to connect people across projects in ways that are both meaningful for the individuals, and have helped the organization build professional infrastructure to support our community, nonprofit and government project partnerships. These communities have also enabled Hack for LA to provide rapid response to the evolving crises of 2020.

If you would like to join one of the Communities of Practice that has a regular meeting time, join their slack channel and look for the meeting details, usually pinned or in the description. Otherwise see the "How to get started" sections below.
