We have weekly meetings, an awesome team which actively respond to issues and listen to public concerns. But I think it also needs a physical presence like chapters or collaboration with NodeSchool.\r\n\r\nIt can be also helpful to existing commcomm initiatives/issues like\r\n- [User Feedback](https://github.com/nodejs/user-feedback)\r\n- [COMMUNITY [GLOBALIZATION, DIVERSITY]](https://github.com/nodejs/community-committee/issues/268)\r\n- [Diversity/Inclusivity Initiative](https://github.com/nodejs/community-committee/issues/260)\r\n\r\nThis is also related to [Evangelism initiative](https://github.com/nodejs/evangelism) as its purpose is to \r\n> Bring discussions to a wider audience and attempt to grow the community through positive, supportive messaging.\r\n\r\nRelated issue: [Reviving Evangelism Working Group](https://github.com/nodejs/community-committee/issues/275)\r\n\r\nI believe having such chapter gives WGs members/observers a platform to easily interact with Nodejs users/public which is really important for CommComm WG (maybe not for other WGs).\r\n\r\n@bnb added that this is also related to [community-events](https://github.com/nodejs/admin/issues/76) initiative which was started under CommComm and [Local Initiatives](https://github.com/nodejs/evangelism/tree/master/documents/local_initiatives) under Envgalism team.\r\n\r\nI recently joined NodeSchool Lahore, Pakistan chapter and looking forward to organizing different Nodejs/JavaScript related talks. As a CommComm Observer, I would also like to talk about its initiatives or even ask for user feedback for our user feedback initiative. etc.\r\n\r\nNot sure if Nodejs can collaborate with already existing communities like NodeSchool? Rather than building a new community from start. It'd be better to collaborate because a lot of people are familiar with NodeSchool, I'm sure all their chapters have volunteers and organizers. In short, everything is already in flow. \r\nAnd it seems like Nodejs WGs always wanted something similar but there was no positive result may be because it requires additional time to build a chapter and to manage it. Yes, It does add a lot of responsibility. So, by handling it over to (collaborating with) some already working community like NodeSchool would make it a lot easy and manageable.\r\n\r\n@patrickheneise and @chowdhurian also added +1\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/nodejs/community-committee/issues/comments/395010096","html_url":"https://github.com/nodejs/community-committee/issues/280#issuecomment-395010096","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/nodejs/community-committee/issues/280","id":395010096,"node_id":"MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDM5NTAxMDA5Ng==","user":{"login":"Tiriel","id":15275371,"node_id":"MDQ6VXNlcjE1Mjc1Mzcx","avatar_url":"https://avatars0.githubusercontent.com/u/15275371?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/Tiriel","html_url":"https://github.com/Tiriel","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Tiriel/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Tiriel/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Tiriel/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Tiriel/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Tiriel/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Tiriel/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Tiriel/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Tiriel/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Tiriel/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2018-06-06T09:42:13Z","updated_at":"2018-06-06T09:42:13Z","author_association":"MEMBER","body":"I don't know if there was any talk about that in a session at the summit, I must admit I can't remember.\r\n\r\nCan anyone provide input on this? cc @nodejs/community-committee "}}
