Have something you want included? You can file an issue or submit a pull request in the fedora-pgm/pgm_communication repo.
Who’s got two thumbs and learned their lesson about reading the Friday recaps?
Also, would it be possible to add the EPEL survey link under the Help Wanted section for the month of August? It’s just to get opinions from EPEL users and contributors. Link below.

Another event CFP open until Aug 14 is Kieler Open Source Und Linux Tage: https://kielux.de/ it is remote and in-person in Kiel (northern Germany) - German or English language presos welcome.
@joseph @duffy I’ve added both of those (and in the case of the EPEL survey, I also added it to the script for my weekly office hours). Thanks for the contributions! If you think of anything else, you can let me know directly or open an issue or pull request in the pgm_communication repo.
