For instance, the TST meeting at 3 pacific is too late for Europe and too early for Asia – perhaps the meeting could alternate between an earlier time (maybe 10 pacific) and a later time (perhaps 4 or 5 pacific) so that community members in Europe and Asia have a chance to attend
Create an onboarding experience so people don’t have to figure out so much on their own
Create a mentorship system to share information that is tacit
Create a system of asynchronous decision making so people who miss a call still have a chance to have a voice in decisions

- Put more ideas for how to reduce barriers to contribution here
