I think the calendar I mentioned above on Meta probably could be improved in some ways. If a lot of folks start using it, it will become quite long, for one. An archiving system for each month might be a good idea.
What ways could there be to sort or segment the calendar that would be useful for volunteers to search and parse important discussions, surveys, and consultations?

Hoi, Please ..
From my perspective we should not talk about secondary topics like this. We should certainly not be this aggressive. I said it before and I say it again. When you are interested in what we aim to achieve talk about WHAT we can do to do better and let HOW we can do better from an organisational point of view be only supportive of our objectives. Thanks, GerardM

follow places where announcements are posted and read them.

Really? As a Community Organiser within the Community Engagement part of the Foundation, do you not believe that the Foundation has some kind of responsibility too? Perhaps the Foundation, with its tens of millions of dollars and hundereds of staff, and its ownership and control of the
means
of communcation, might consider whether it can organise its engagement
with
a disparate community on a more sophisticated basis than telling the volunteers that it's their responsbility to know how to engage
effectively
with the Foundation? Let me ask to to reread your comments from the
point
of view of a volunteer whose work builds the projects and ask yourself whether the attitude embodied in your comment is not just ever so
slightly
sub-optimal? Are you completely satsifed that there is nothing at all
that
the Foundation could or should do to improve the engagement it has with
the
community?
