Thanks I'd like to give 🙌

Updates from last week ✔️

• Develop pathways for participatory community engagement #3 Finished up turning vague event ideas to rough draft agendas for easier critique. Rough agendas are listed on this issue.
• Followed up on jupyter/accessibility governance voting, so it's moving forward. Here is the relevant PR on jupyter/governance (I did not make the PR, so thank @/afshin).
• Not strictly grant-related, but you may be interested in me finally getting a blog draft up about some accessibility review. I'm not sure if this would support anything anyone's working on.

Challenges I faced and things I'd like assistance with 🙏

• I think I'm okay at the moment.

My availability for next week

• I'll be around all week.

Important items for discussion 💬

• I think we didn't get to what @tonyfast mentioned wanting to discuss on Monday, so I wanted to check if he wanted to circle back now.
• Can we review the final decision on RFD - Clean-up git flow #120? I think I know what's happening, but I saw a little more discussion post-closure.
