📢 Defining Stream Format a Little Better
- Discovering and honing in the stream "brand" (I know, I hate that word too...) has gotten a little easier but it still hasn't been very consistent or explicit.
- We have more of a foothold now on the content direction, and I'm enjoying streaming it a ton. It's time to make it a little more official and explicitly defined.
Introducing some... "Segments"?
This is going to be the general format of things, altho it may change week to week, depending on my work/travel schedule.. But that'll all be a part of what gets posted every Monday on Twitter (the official weekly schedule).

Tuesdays/Thursdays ⇒ Code & C H I L L

📢 Creating a Community Pledge
We talked about the idea of creating a community pledge or oath. Some sort of mechanism for positive-reinforcement to enable the community to BE EXCELLENT and avoid toxicity.
The main goal of this is to create a skeleton for other communities to modify and use. I want to avoid having a set of "rules", and for it to all be voluntary.
Not sure of the best name for it.. Maybe Community Tenets???
📢 Next TwitchCon
- Try and raise money to send a couple of the mods to TwitchCon
What's next for the stream?
