[2023/12/16 10:03] Almut Brunswick: We should put a call in the Forum and on posters in the CDS.
[2023/12/16 10:04] Sandy Burgess: I asked him a year ago when the question was up but he said it was too early back then - no idea what he thinks now - have not seen him much lately
[2023/12/16 10:04] Sandy Burgess: Amanda and Dave could also do it
[2023/12/16 10:04] Almut Brunswick: Kyoko, that sounds great. Would you like to do it alone or shall we ask for a helper?

[2023/12/16 10:06] Rosie Gray: thank you for your offer, Kyoko
[2023/12/16 10:06] Almut Brunswick: Right. So let's vote to call for the MoCA curator via our CDS channels and see next meeting if we will have some (new) volunteers attracted.
[2023/12/16 10:06] Jerry McNally: Yes, good plan
[2023/12/16 10:06] Moon Adamant: AND the MoCA actually runs a few spaces, so I think we can have a mix of hands

[2023/12/16 10:07] Rosie Gray: yes please, Almut
[2023/12/16 10:07] Kyoko Jarvinen-Barzane (samara.barzane): I understand
