In mid-September, the Spritely Institute held our first open office hours event. 🎉
The team was surprised and delighted that ten members of our community came to ask questions and learn more about our work!
A dive into Spritely
After opening with introductions, we asked attendees what brought them here and if they had any questions for the team. Reasons included:
- Curiosity
- Wanting to try Spritely technologies for game development and more
- Tangential interest through Scheme
- Concerns about social network design
- Desire to learn more about cryptography
- Enthusiasm to hear about the institute's roadmap
As for questions, the discussion this time around centered on broad overviews of the Institute and broader community's various initiatives, such as:
- A preview of the then-upcoming Goblins 0.14.0 release
- An overview of OCapN
- Feedback on Spritely's educational resources and documentation
- The Autumn Lisp Game Jam
Thank you to everyone who joined us for a rousing conversation in September!
What the future holds
Going forward, we're looking to establish a cadence of meeting on the last Wednesday of the month at 2:00 PM Eastern Time (UTC-4/5 depending on Daylight Saving Time), with exceptions in the schedule to account for holidays and so forth.
As previously, reservations are available for the closest new office hours meeting, and drop ins are also welcome!
For our next meeting, we're interested in hosting a discussion on community-driven topics, as well as demoing how to get started with Hoot for the Autumn Lisp Game Jam starting up next Friday, October 25th.
We'll be addressing pre-scheduled project and other technical questions first, so if that describes your needs, you can read more about how to reserve time with us below.
To submit topics for the open discussion, we'd love to hear your thoughts on our community form thread here. We'll add some suggestions first to help get the party started. 🥳
Reserving an office hours slot
If, after filing an issue and/or posting on our forums, you still require further discussion, you can schedule a meeting with a member of the team here.
Dropping in
Alternatively, if you just want to say hello, listen in, or think of a burning question on the day of, you can join us impromptu in the meeting room. Our next meeting as of this post is on Wednesday, October 30th at 2:00 PM EDT (UTC-4)!
In the meantime, we look forward to seeing you around on our community forum. Thanks for reading, and see you soon! 👋
