ken yes there were a couple opportunities that I wanted to look into one was a couple of hackathon preparations another was onboarding and the need to fill the assistance with our website there are a couple of individuals that I have in mind that would like to help and assist so they would need to complete the onboarding process for ech and from there would be able to connect with the appropriate individuals to be assigned tasks and roles so that they could contribute to the group and that's that's the the top part right now and some other things down the pipeline preparing into the beginning of next year as well were some activities on my mind one it was seen about doing a presentation event at the east builders nyc and letting the ethereum community know about ech and about ways they can help contribute to the organization also Our thoughts that I would like to see about us being able to do would be very very nice awesome
Pooja well thanks ken yeah of course like the onboarding process is very simple here we have an onboarding form that people might want to fill up and and then we'll reach out to them individually and we'll be happy to put them in touch with the right set of people we already have a channel website on the ethereum cad herders Discarder they can follow the discussion ongoing discussion over there but in case of issue in doubt feel free to reach out to Me and yes also we are willing to participate to different events and hackathons and talk about the ethereum cat herders and if that is like on a on like multi blockchain level conferences then of course on ethereum side this this is a good segment for our next topic it's events and hackathons we have listed quite a few Hypotense those are in the month of september eat online that is going to start from september 17th and it will last for about a month until october 15th minute 2021 summit that's planned between september 20 to 22 and i'm hoping to make a representation of ethereum cat hurdles in that similarly we have a wyoming blockchain stampede that starts from september 21-26 we have requested for a talk but haven't received any confirmation Yet we'll update on that and last month I gave a presentation on edcon 2021 that is for the improving ethereum with eips it's a good presentation for people who are trying to learn about eips just a big summary of what proposal is and how the process goes along so we are like looking into participating into different events to talk about cat holders to talk about the improvements governance and everything cathodes are involved in that goes right so the ethereum cathode is we are also trying to help out with the hackathon even preparation and like be a community partner promote the event invite more participants like hackers and yeah let the new developers get an opportunity to build something so yeah I can talk to you like maybe after this call for the new york Blockchain center hackathon that you just mentioned other than that I want to share one more Information there is this group they reached out to us that is called hack cbs 4.0 they are having a new hackathon planned in the month of october we are in touch with the team and will try to be an organizer these are a student-led hackathon organized in India so if any team or any group they are organizing hackathon and they would like us to get involved we'll be happy to support in any possible way moving on the

Pooja: going to the review of outstanding action items from the previous meeting I suppose we do not have a list of summary here like decision or action items that's missing i'll reach out to the resource and ask him to add that there but my understanding it we have mostly covered the topics that were discussed in the last meeting so that's all about it whatever were listed on the agenda item if people have any other thought any other thing that they would like to bring it in the meeting please feel free we have some time we can discuss it I would love to hear more thoughts on on new ideas i'm sorry brent you were trying to say something I saw mute and mute
Brent yeah I should have been more prepared but but I got an email from someone about the cat herders stuff asking me to participate in some reviews or stuff but anyway i'm kind of lost and i'm looking for that page right now trying to find I wanted to ask for more I apologize for not being ready for that but i'm looking for the email right now but any it wasn't from github it was from some other tool and but anyway I just wondered if anyone that I was trying to get but anyway so i'll try and prepare more and post it questions about in the forum and stuff so apologize for that yeah it was some cat herder stuff it had to do with the meeting notes and someone was asking me to review the the meeting notes that they had says six meeting 66 or something like that but it wasn't from github is from a different tool and I didn't know how to use that tool i'm trying to think where i'm looking for that email yeah yeah yeah it was the fireflight tool I Think and then yeah I just hadn't wanted to apologize I haven't done anything like because i'm not quite sure what that or I was trying to figure out but I didn't have a lot of time but anyway apologize for not knowing what to do or doing anything on that
Pooja no no worries at all so yeah i'm taking care of that I have asked the resource like not to add the bots and ai's yeah I have been asked earlier too we are trying to keep it like keep it more human presence and sorry for that email that that should be fine i'll be taking care of that no spot so that sounds good I think we are all covered and I would like to hear more ways and ideas of like increasing this group and increasing support to the ethereum client team and ethereum ecosystem in general so maybe from the next meeting onward if people have thoughts they can reach out to me earlier like prior to the meeting and i'll add that as an agenda item in specific so they can share their ideas and if they need any kind of support leading that idea cataracts will try to help out with that thanks bye.
