Thanks everyone for the encouragement and recognition. I'm happy to work on the Jira board this weekend. Can I just start a new one on my personal account and add people to it? or does someone need to create it under an Apache account? - If the later, can someone create it and give me admin access?
I will then populate it with the initial structure and will seed it with components and the deliverables I outlined. I will add the people who indicated interest so they can select where they want to contribute. In terms of comm channels, can we also create a slack channel? // I will comment on Kenn's point in a separate note, he outlined great points for us to put into an overall D&I strategy Thanks everyone!
