Daylight Savings Time Change Alert!
We are finishing up the dreaded “week in-between” when Europe recognizes Daylight Savings Time a week before the US. And if we weren’t all feeling disoriented enough, when (most of) the US moves clocks back an hour this weekend, it will affect all those who live in a place that keeps their clocks at the same time. In short, who even knows what time or day it is? If you are not subscribed to the CHAOSS calendar or a member of the #general channel in the CHAOSS Slack, we hope you can catch up with us. All CHAOSS meetings are listed in US Central (Chicago) Time Zones, so please double-check the times of meetings in your area. Here is a handy tool to help you figure that out. We hope to see you soon!

The complete changelog can be seen on GitHub. Great work, GrimoireLab team!
New CHAOSScast Episode #68: Community Insights with Hedan Zeng (Part 1 of 2)
This episode was so good, we had to break it into two parts! Our guest was Hedan Zeng, Director of Product Management at Common Room. Hedan joins host Georg Link and panelists Venia Logan and Sophia Vargas to talk about community metrics like membership, community responsiveness, and sentiment. They also talk about the philosophy of metrics, improving the quality of metrics, privacy and data sharing and listening versus automating. Listen to part 1 here: https://podcast.chaoss.community/68.
