Hi all, following up on this thread with the discussion details from today’s monthly call:

> [@Recap of July 2021 monthly call](https://discourse.opensourcediversity.org/t/recap-of-july-2021-monthly-call/611/1):
>
> - **Goal** : Update our website to a popular static site generator tool to improve our ability to manage reviews and change proposals, and explore new categories of content in our website.
> - **Next steps** :
> - Content from existing site already in place.
> - Requirements gathering to create project charter / plan.
> - Wireframing and prototyping new tool with existing content.
> - Success criteria: Pre-existing content is visible and discoverable in the updated site.
> - AI: Telegram group for dedicated chat for committers. \*AI: Set up developer meeting, invite developers to committers.
> 
> - **Examples**?
> - [https://qaira.github.io/](https://qaira.github.io/)
> - [https://vrapeutic.github.io/](https://vrapeutic.github.io/)
> - [https://rentadronecl.github.io/](https://rentadronecl.github.io/)
> 
> - How does OSD want to approach this?
> - What problems do we want to solve?
> - Requirements, thinking on the “why”, what you want to achieve, who you want to talk to for feedback
> - Identifying stakeholders?
> - What is the value in doing this?
> - would be good if someone gives a glimpse of the problems with the current site
> 
> - Outreach: Support/guidance on Open Source Design job board? Bring in design support from the other OSD (Open Source Design)
> - Kanban / project management tool to help us stay organized. Figure out in first development meeting.
> - CI pipeline fix?

We will need to set up a developer meeting to begin next steps to work on the website. We will begin with a requirements gathering exercise to guide us on next steps. We should begin working on a timeline to present back to the community at the next August monthly meeting.

I have invited more folks to the GitHub team with commit access. I also created a Telegram group for developers:

More to come soon! Let us know any questions, concerns, or thoughts you have in this thread.
