+## Workgroup Meetings

+To coordinate activities and facilitate discussion across the Python ecosystem, the Consortium for Python Data API Standards holds an open meeting every other week on Thursdays throughout the year.
+
+This meeting is open to the public. So if you have questions about the array API standard, pain points, feature requests, or are just wanting to listen in, we encourage you to join the public call to connect with Consortium members, stay updated on the latest Consortium activities, and chat with others in the community.

+Everyone is welcome—drop in and say hello!
