# Community meet-ups

## What is it for? 

CHOSN network meet-up monthly for updates and discussions. Meeting notes are taken and distributed to the members on a Google document. Joining details are shared via the mailing list. If you are interested in attending, please [sign up for the listserv](https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=CHOSN\&A=1).

## Topics of interest

In the first meet-up on 9 November 2023, participants were invited to workshop potential topics and activities to address in this network. We used a Miro board to stick the ideas on and later, we clustered them to see the common areas and prioritise them.
