The Community Relations team works from issues and issue boards. If you need our assistance with any project, please open an issue and use one of the main program labels anywhere within the GitLab repo.
Merged updates to the handbook are posted to the #community-relations-fyi Slack channel.
MRs must be tagged with the Community Relations labeled before being merged in order to be posted to Slack. When you create a new MR, be sure to add the label upon creation so this step isn't forgotten. If you are assigned to merge an MR, ensure the label is added prior to merging.

The Community Relations team's previous decks are in our Google drive (GitLab employees only). It's useful when putting together the next GC deck to look at the last one to make sure that items on the calendar edge don't get missed or included a second time.
A DRI from the Community Relations team will be identified for each GC approximately 3 weeks before the next scheduled GC. The DRI should rotate through team members to give everyone a chance to lead the GC. The DRI is responsible for:
