I've scheduled two Online Workshops where I walk through the recent GitHub updates with the team. Could we announce these to the team? Anyone is welcome to join.

Dev squad triage session notes added.

[jonathanbossenger]

I have suggested a new section to the Open requests for review item called Learning Pathway Lessons, and listed the first 7 lessons of the 1st module of the beginner developer learning pathway. I suggest any future learning pathway content be included here.

It's worth noting that these lessons will differ from tutorials, so the structure is slightly different (eg each lesson will not include the title card that most tutorials would have, and each lesson might not include a detailed list of learning outcomes, as this would probably be covered in the first lesson of the module, etc). If in doubt, it's recommended to reach out to the content creator in the comments of the issue to check.

Realizing the project/issue is on the agenda, I've been outlining some more ideas and questions in the Sustainability Team: NextGen and other Event ideas and suggestions (Slack Canvas).

I'm going to try and attend in real time so I can reference some of those ideas and ask followup questions. If I'm not able to make it tonight (11pm my time), I'll async participate tomorrow.

@Piyopiyo-Kitsune Thanks so much for including!
